Why I Will Never Again Buy A GM

I was a Chevy guy. I loved GM's. I own a Saturn Vue and a Chevy Cavalier.

And these are the last GM vehicles that I will ever own. Why? Because the company is now owned by the government. By its very core definition, this defeats and goes against capitalism. Private businesses are not supposed to be owned by the government. Its not their job!! Their job is to keep me safe... not to own companies. That's called SOCIALISM.

I am very sad. I am heartbroken that the American public isn't crying for someone's head on a stick for this. But it's where we are.

So where does that leave me? I want to buy American and support our economy, but what other US car companies are owned by the government? I don't know. And the other problem is that foreign cars are made better. In Consumer Reports... no American car is top ranked. So buy a worse car and support America? Or get a better car and have my cash go to Japan? (and don't give me the argument that they are 'assembled' in the US because in the end the profit still goes to Japan, not the US)

yar....

It's a sad day indeed. Fortunately, there are a lot of us calling for someone's "head on a stick," as it were. The problem is, what can we do about it? Short of another revolution there's not much we can do but wait for it to get bad enough that a revolution is warranted. Prayer is certainly the best thing, but we don't know how God is going to answer that prayer. He might answer it with secession or revolution, hopefully with something more peaceful. I just watched the second disk of the John Adams miniseries. It is fantastic. You should watch it.

PS Ford is also not an option because they were begging for the money, they just didn't get any. you could try Tesla... starting at $40,000
