Default Re: Buying Domestic, Good or Bad

I'm absolutely loving this thread! The whole matter of the fact is that the executives are making WAAAYYY too much and less attention is going towards the product(as with most US corporations). Well, that's conservative capitalism, isn't it. Whatever the market will bear, make as much as you can. Capitalism absolutely gives people motivation to work harder while giving others a license to steal. Its not right and could be the downfall of America. It's all about the profit, which is what I despise about the extreme right wing(giving everything I've worked so hard to obtain away to the lazy is what I despise about the extreme left wing). Let's be accountable for our products. I have a 2004 Ford and a 2002 Chevy sitting in my driveway right now.. Chevy gives better customer service, hands down. I don't even want to deal with Ford anymore, seriously. Their customer service is crap, total crap. They absolutely don't care about your problems while GM gives you a rental while your car is in the shop. This isn't just locally either, its everywhere I've taken my cars. The Mercury dealership(locally) is better than most though. I don't even want to talk about Dodge, though they have some vehicles that appeal to me.. I'll never own another Dodge.

I say put more attention towards the product and cut back on the excessive pay. While we're at it.. lets put more farmers to work and grow corn to make ethanol fuel. Why keep paying the outrageous prices for oil, we don't need it but... someone is making a dollar off it so let's capitalize on it! Right? WRONG! We don't need it! America has more natural gas than it knows what to do with yet we keep using oil... why?? SOMEONE IS MAKING A DOLLAR OFF OF IT! A car can run off of nature gas can't it.. YES! I say more ethanol, more solar, more wind. Heat houses with natural gas. We don't need all the oil we use but we keep using it.. WHY? Because someone(BUSH/CHENEY/SAUDI) is making a killing off of it. Absolutely ridiculous!(And some wonder why I despise the illiterate self serving president).
