Bankruptcy, not bailout, is the right answer

Government intervention is the corporation's way of unfairly messing with free markets and competition. It only costs $8 million per quarter (see AT&T) to hire a team of lobbyists and Senators to unfairly block your competition out of the game and take over an entire industry (see network neutrality).

I agree with you; government regulation is good, meddling is bad.

Is "unfairly block" and "takes over" good?

Surely you're not suggesting that we can have good govt regulation if only we believed in Tinkerbelle.
