History tells us that ventures between government and private enterprise are highly unlikely to succeed.

Rolls Royce and British Leyland Motor Corporation were nationalized by the British government. Neither intervention succeeded in making either company profitable.

The DNA of America is coded with private enterprise and individual risk-taking and reward. The idea of the government owning businesses of any sort is not merely bad economics, it is terrible government.

Any American who values their traditions of free enterprise and political freedom will urge the federal government to disinvest itself from these companies immediately. The federal government can quickly put its controlling stake in the companies on the market and do so at whatever price makes the market.

There are plenty of great cars out there. You don't have to buy one that costs not just your cash, but also your commitment to free enterprise and all the benefits that flow from it.

The government does a hell of a lot of things better than the free market does. I'd gladly buy a socialist car; because then I'd know it was good quality, low cost and backed by a solid entity that isn't going to flake out over a stock market hiccough.

Popped for the article...
I won't buy a socialist car either... next one will be a Ford (if they're not taken over before then).

I don't buy anything Union made.

Ah, so you only buy stuff made in sweat shops or by child labour, eh, Willhelm the Chickenhearted?

darkeforce,
What's up with you and Chickens?

Willhelm's too much of a chicken to let dissenting opinions on his Clips. He's scared of people posting the truth to counter his propaganda.

Yes, I'm afraid of all the SEMI-intelligent leftists like jklugman, enbar, ouyangwulong, abailart... You know, the ones that can actually make a point from time to time. I don't block them.
I block the major idiots, dorkfarce, oortcloud, and kmcolo. That's all.

In other words, you don't block the ones that kiss your ass. Nice try, chickenboy.

I manage my clips just fine without blocking ANYONE. There is no reason why everyone else can't do the same, unless censorship is the only way you can keep your lies from being refuted.

Again, you aptly earn the name Willhelm the Chickenhearted.
