Do you believe people should have personal responsibility for there action?

Some examples

1 You are constantly late for work and your employer fires you. Do you think you were fired unjustly?

2 You buy too much on credit, and cannot pay it back. You file for bankruptcy. Do you feel obligated to pay it back when you can?

3. You buy a house that you cannot pay for and will foreclose soon. Do you think the government should bail you out?

Update:

People this is a hypotical. I am very responsible, but when I look all around this is what I see and hear all the time.

    I think they should. But many out there do not. I know people that have over extended themselves and have some real money problems. Too many toys like flat screen tv, playstation3, xbox 360 and so on. They buy on credit and cannot get ahead because they end up paying just the interest and not the principal.

    Look at the economy too many people brought houses that they could not afford and now everyone is hurt. Look at all the Obama supporters looking for entitlements.

    People are responsible for their actions! If you're late for work constantly, you need to take care of that...you can get up earlier. If you buy too much on credit, you know you're getting yourself into a rut! If you buy a house you can't pay for, then you need to get a better job maybe or get a cheaper house.

    1) fired justly. question: why are you always late?

    2) feel obligated to pay it back, its good karma :)

    3) gov'n shouldnt bail you out, why'd you buy the house when you were in financial difficulties?
