"Look - at the auto parts store I work for, when sales are down I can't simply go to my boss and ask him to make up for the shortfall by giving me an extra bonus that month."
No, you can't; however, don't think that the auto industry and other big businesses DON'T get government support when the economy is bad - they do (look at the airline industry and the billions being paid to shore up their budget shortfalls as we debate this).
