5. Hey, you're not supposed to notice that!
Geez, businesses make money, not give money away for nothing. You're confusing them with taxpayers, er, consumers, er, with someone else.

Honestly, that is the million dollar question. Here's another: Why do big business and Wall Street want to privatize when the going is good but when it gets bad, suddenly they want the taxpayers to bail them out? They don't want any part of the little guy when they are feeding at their piggy trough but when the food runs out, the piggies are squealing for more food! (apologies to pigs - I find the actual creatures adorable).
