Why did we Bailout GM ?

I don't understand why they gave taxpayer money to a company, that four months later, files for bankruptcy. Why didn't GM tell the taxpayer the truth of it's situation ? I'll tell you why, because they knew they were going down the drain . This was an opportunity to line their pockets , before the male bovine feces hits the oscillating wind creator. We as taxpayers have been robbed, not at gun point , at CHANGE point. Are we enjoying the CHANGE yet ? We as a people have lost all sense of reality. We are capitalist not socialist, however if we continue to use socialist rational and policies, we will become what our forefathers fought against. We need to let the weak die , and the strong survive. It is the American way. Our economy would be a lot healthier, if we would have done it from the beginning. Now we have to deal with Conan O'Brien making Government Motors jokes before we go to sleep. What kind of cars will the Democrats build ? Should we vote Republican to get some SUV's ? Meanwhile our taxes will go up, while our representation will go down. I think there is a revolution principle in there somewhere. That's my two cents.
