Democracy

I don't understand. If most Americans are opposed to the auto bailout, but politicians in DC are pushing to make it happen, then how are we living in a democracy?

Also, head colds make people really grumpy.

I know it is not popular now, but I like capitalism, what is wrong with capitalism?

I know the argument is the lose of those automakers will ruin the economy putting that many people unemployed, but I have seen information that says it will not as well. If a company can not be competitive then a bailout is not going improve anything. Besides, there are bankruptcy laws for this.

I always thought a capitalistic society was similar to Darwinism (the survival of the fittest part). In essence, the most profitable companies survived. What is capitalistic about being bailed out?
