Say No to the Auto Industry Beggars

When I first came to this country, even as a foreigner, I had allways purchased American made cars. I remember coming to the US for vacation in the early 70's and was always excited that I could buy American goods as it was a symbol of quality made products, today not so much and yet there are industries out there that would like to make quality products but cannot compete with the foreign companies. Even today as an American I still drive American cars (Ford/GM) sorry never had a Chrysler. I have watched the system allow foreign cars to be imported over the years and had no issue with having competition, however I do believe there should have been a higher import tax and a higher sales tax for those wishing to buy the foregn cars. While the Government allowed Free trade and the importation of these foreign products then obviously they should foot the bill as they were just as much a part of this. I really do not condone the buy out, but then where else do we go from here, we just can't continue printing money and using tax payers dollars to bailout all big businesses. HOW ABOUT BAILING OUT THE AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD. Haven't heard anything about that, after all it is our tax money. Should we be part of it? It surely would take more than a $600 stimulus check to do so. As you can see that didn't help. Let me just end by saying HOW ABOUT A $100,000 TO $200,000 STIMULUS CHECK FOR EVERY TAX PAYING HOUSEHOLD.
