David ... at the risk of taking this thread off on a tangent . Could you be classified as an automobile manufacturer since you do complete cars ? Where I`m going ( a long shot ) , could some of your customers qualify for the new tax credit the Chosen One is making available for a new car purchased in 2009 ?
Just a thought .
Back on topic , looks like the tea parties are picking up some momentum ... lets hope everyone joins in and sends the bags not just to Washington , but to your local legislators also . It`s sickening to see them all falling over themselves to spend the new found ( mine and yours ) money on their pet projects that wouldn`t normally be funded .... and will only serve to increase taxes to pay for the new items/maintenance etc after the money has run out.
BTW , great speech ... I would love to send it to one of my Senators , Lindsey Graham , who has been siding with Obama lately ... with your permission of course .
Thanks for what you are doing !!

Bobcat,

Thank you for your kind words on my speech. I gave from the heart. I am only warning people of what we have seen. The end of the road of Socialism is not pretty. As I said in my speech, these policies of wealth destruction will "metastasize into trickle down despair." You are welcome to send it to anyone who might think it worth reading (or watching).

David

Nope, David wouldn't want to go there. An "auto manufacturer" has to produce vehicles that meet all current emissions and crash safety regs. Take a look at an Aurora, or Autocar to get an idea what your up against. (granted these only met standards from 10 years ago)

David's taking a pretty big risk as it is, tick off the right people in DC and next thing you know all these "exemptions" start going away. Now all you have is a race car that can't be operated on the street. Not that there aren't people out there who already want you off the road.

Our govenment is like a 20yr old car, great to bragg about how long it's lasted. But ultimately it's time for a re-build, or a new one.
