Who is held accountable for the significant failures that required bailing out
Wasn't the free market supposed to allow failing business to go extinct
Nothing makes sense
This world is run by idiots

That the people in government are so corrupt that they would use an economic crisis, likely manufactured by them, to enrich themselves doesn't make capitalism bad. It is corruption that is bad, and under socialism (or any form of government that makes government bigger or gives these corrupt people more power) the results would be worse.
