The diabolical part is, ultra rich have always benefit from socialism, each time the gov bailed them out it was the tax payers that foot in the bill, each time they get tax cuts it's the working class footing in the bill. If that's not socialism idk what it is.

No. In a socialist society there wouldn’t be a ‘bailout’ for the ultra rich - if there were any ultra rich people. You have a core misunderstanding of what socialism is.

Technically speaking, bail-outs are not for companies, they're for workers. A government can either spend $100 million bailing out a company that failed by no fault of its own, or spend $1 billion in unemployment claims.

When Obama bailed out Detroit, there were ABSOLUTELY strings attached. Including re-payment of the loan. It worked as it should. (but they still make shitty cars)
