That's like saying, he got a mortgage, shame on the bank for giving him free money!

It's not free money. It's a loan that needs to be repaid. Market rate interests are also being paid on that loan. The government is making money from those bailouts.

If you don't like working then you are free to take out loans against your existing assets (shares, real estate) and be a capitalist. But managing or investing money is still hard work (though different) and definitely not "free money".
