Replying to: dave8697 (Dec 21, 2008 2:43 pm) It's not about logic or fiscal responsibility, it's revenge.   I don't believe that for a second. In any case, I've already told you what you have to do if you want my money. Make something that I want to buy & offer it to me at a price that I'm willing to pay. That's the American way. Earn my business. Don't use the government to mug me. Wasn't that how the old Soviet Union worked? We all know how successful that was.   The auto bailout: It's $134 per taxpayer based on 100 million taxpayers.   If you're willing to spend $134 to support the domestic auto industry, then you won't mind spending $268 so that I can spend my $134 on something that matters to me. OK? Frankly, I'd rather use my money to support local merchants during these hard times. Do you have a problem with that?   Do you really want to help the domestic auto industry, Dave? Then go down to the dealer of your choice tomorrow morning & buy a new car or truck. According to your CarSpace profile, 2 of the vehicles in your family fleet are at least 10 years old. It's time to replace 1 of them. Buy a new car or truck & make it clear to your salesman that you won't pay a nickel less than MSRP for it. Don't listen to him if he offers you a discount. After all, you really do want to help.   So put your money where your mouth is. Just do me one favor, Dave. Leave me & my money alone. As you've probably figured out by now, I'm just not a team player.

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 19, 2008 11:33 am) You are absolutely amazing taking pop shots at us Midwesterners!!! We build stuff here in the Midwest, while the rest of the country grows food using subsidized governement money. If it wasn't for Uncle Sam, or the naturally found oil well places like Texas, would still be living in the dark ages. You can't find anyone willing to work as hard or as long as us Midwesterners. Also let's not even get into education aspect..... High School Football, is more important to those toothless, rednecks, than a decent teacher or text book. California, had once proud industrial cities like Long Beach, my birthplace. California, has became the toilet of the U.S. with bloated housing prices and is a beacon of weird america. I'd rather be a socialist society than have to endure another 8 years of unpatriotic pseudo-capitalism !!!!   -Rocky

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 19, 2008 5:52 pm) Why shouldn't we protect american business and keep a solid middle class??? Are you naive enough to believe that buying more Asian crap is good for us economically and our national security??? gagrice, even your hero Duncan Hunter, gets it!!!   -Rocky

Replying to: jimbres (Dec 21, 2008 5:55 pm) do you have any kids? i kind of doubt it. life gets much more complicated when it's not all about what you see in a mirror. i think someone said 'no man is an island'. even if they live on Long Island.

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 19, 2008 8:01 pm) The problem is that most americans are about as bright as a burned out light bulb and have been dumbed down by cheap, shoddy, lead tainted, goods from China. My generation doesn't know what it's like making a fair wage, fair benefits, retirement, and having any sort of patriotism outside of attacking a country with no WMD's. I'm ashamed we've became so dumb as a society and will sell our souls to the lowest bidder!!!   -Rocky Replies to this message: lemko (Dec 21, 2008 7:31 pm) rockylee (Dec 21, 2008 7:47 pm) tlong (Dec 21, 2008 11:44 pm)
