I will not bail out private money making banks via the FDIC via my tax dollar.

If you put money into a private bank, then when it fails, you should lose that money.

The more we stick to the myth in the US, the longer it will take for us to have the same degree of success. Innovation comes not out of motive for profit, but ou of need and desire and capability.
