Do you feel our government pushing us into a "Company Store" situation?

Remember the old logging and mining communities that the owners of the companies built to house the workers? They would pay the workers and then between paying the rent,(houses were owned by the company), buying food and anything else they needed from the general store (the store was also company owned)the workers would end up giving just about everything they made right back to the company. And you can be sure the prices reflected a pretty darn good profit for "the comapny". I'm begining to see our government setting itself up, with all these bailouts, as "The Company Store". It isn't enough that they have plans to tax us so hard, in the very near future, we will be lucky to remain standing...now they will have their fingers in all major pots we may be paying into. The banking and lending markets(which will include the real estate we buy), the auto markets, insurance, health care, farming and ranching (they have been working on this for a couple generations), trucking (they have been quietly forcing the owner operaters out of business and replacing them with a few chosen corporate companies, which they probably already own a major share of, for a while now)....we can probably think of many more ways they have gained control. So, they can "look" generous and offer small incentive checks or tax rebates, because they know, in the end, they will wring every penny and then some right back out of our pockets and right back into "The Company Store" coffers.
