Guys:

Being the old timer that I unfortunately am now, I believe the main problem with
the auto companies is too many Americans buying foreign brands.

Now before anybody starts making excuses let me say a big part of that is the
American Manufactures drug their collective feet too many years on quality.
However the past several years they have made dramatic improvements.

Yes, there are other problems also but I said the main problem.

I've been following this thread for a couple days now. All this bail out money makes me sick and then I look at what my 401K has done. WOW, I get very sick and want to drink a beer to calm down.
WELL, Here's the icing on the cake.
Kentucky just passed a 6% sales tax on liquor that will go into affect April 1, 2009. A 30 pack was $18.50 before the announcement of the tax. Since it has passed but before enactment beer has gone to $23.00 (in the last week).
Looks like the beer companies are learning tricks from the gas companies.

Tax on booze and cigarettes should be upped ten times.

Taxes on former and non racers who come on here and try to change S/SS shold be imposed at a
per post rate.
Last time I looked liquor and tobacco products were n't against the law.Granted they aern't the best thing for your health(especially tobacco) but we were all born with free will to figue out right from wrong.
BTW I'm an ex smoker (cigs and cigars).

That would just cause more social problems. Think about it.

The bailout deal for car companies or banks sucks. The car companies are victims of that previous deal. Going after the scoundrels that caused it is fairly easy, maybe not as easy as when they were in the White House.

Wow!!!!! and while we're at it lets double the tax on everyones second home, RV, Boat, Snowmobile,ect. Hey while we're at it lets really tax those idiots into the extreme sports that I'm sure land in the hospital quite often most likely with no insurance, we can go on and on. Yes I smoke and yes I drink and yes I pay alot of tax on these,not sure why some people jump on tobacco and alcohol as being this terrible evil that is such a burden to society. Did you watch Dragracing or Nascar when the Tobacco companies were footing the bill? Maybe everyone who watched should pay in to the tobacco settlements or we should tell Bud, Miller and all the rest ...No take your money and go away motorsports don't need your money. Hate it or like it Cigs and Booze are probably here to stay..at least for the near future. Please be careful what you wish for you may just get it...Joe More taxes is not the answer...less spending is!
