Back to reality...why shouldn't we give people money to start American-based businesses since we already gave banks and corporations money to save their hides after poor business decisions?

When I invest in a business am I not giving them money to start a business? Why do we require taxes and government interference in that process? Would you give anyone who ask for money an amount of money or would you want to know what they intend to do and how they intend to be successful? Wouldn't you want to know that? Why are you so willing to allow the government to make that decision for you?
