I pay every cent of my taxes
I pay every cent of my taxes David. And being a single parent with only 20,000/yr income, I think it is shameful that I and the other 99% of other taxpayers below 175K/year income were saddled (read FORCED) with paying for the development of a car that they will never see one cent of benefit from. They can neither afford it, nor will they ever get one red cent of the savings of fuel costs OR the big bonus $7500 incentive associated with this buying a brand new model of this red herring!
Don't get me wrong, apart from the outrageous cost (for a 4 seater mid size car), I like it enough, but need I remind those here, that apart from bipartisan politics (which is what this article is obviously really about) that General Motors had made over 75 years of RECORD PROFITS when they begged to be saved from bankruptcy by the taxpayers?!? Those of you here, including the person that wrote this piece, need to stop their ignorant endless rhetorical banter about "which president needs to be the scapegoat" and instead fault corporations like GM AND ANYONE in our overtrusted government that had a major part of scamming us, the OTHER 99% of taxpayers!! Instead of blaming Obama or blaming Bush, stop and think that maybe what we should be doing is storming GM and showing up in front of congress at the capitol with picket signs demanding our money back for paying for the development of a product that only 1% of the population can afford!
