My knowledge on the subject is very limited, but I can see how the multi billion dollar bailout of large corporations by taxpayers can be looked at with negative optics. Subsequent acts by these corporations, such as awarding bonuses despite the bailouts of these corporations (see the link below), and having CEO's fly private jets to Washington to request bailout money, really add to the appearance of greed and lack of common sense.
