You can cook, bath, shave, use the cell phone, have sex with a willing partner plus work all your gadgets while driving. Fantastic! Just for the safety of the rest of us, would you please ask any safety trained person whether or not they think your attention could just possibily be diverted long enough to cause an accident? One other question. Do you think that another person exercising their right to jeapardize your safety, operating gadgets, etc., should be restricted in anyway soas not to run head one with you, destroy your vehicle, gadgets and life? Just curious. Since you bought it up, could you list which freedoms you have been denied by the government of the United States of America? Thanks. :confuse:

Reasoning of the Big 3 Executives?

Let me see if I understand the case that Wagoner is making for these loans, by using myself in an example of running a business. So I own a restaurant on Main Street for the last 20 years, and I have a LLC. I pay myself and my employees a good wage and benefits from the business. At times I've had decent food, sometimes not. Mainly I serve high-fat main course American food and those are about the only recipes my cook and I have ever invested in. I've never really renovated the building. Now a few new foreign restaurants have opened and my business has been going down over the years, and I've had to let a worker or 2 go. And now the city/state has announced that there are some new rules going into effect on fat-content and codes. So what am I going to do? I've spent all the money I've ever earned, and now I can't see how I'm going to meet the new codes. My friends and the banks don't want to loan me anymore money. So of course the government needs to give me a loan! We've always been on Main Street!" Is that the case the Big 3 took to Congress? If so I say let them fail, just like the restaurant would close. When you make mistakes and bad decisions, there are negative consequences. And this just didn't happen to the Big 3 because of 1 recent law, but was the culmination of thousands of bad decisions over many years. Other manufacturers make bad decsions too, but probably not as many, or as severe.

It lists Chicago as 7.25%, What is it in the above sentence? Is it up to date because they just raised the tax rate a couple of months ago. However, you may be right on vehicles. They may have some sort of exemption on motor vehicle sales. I just the know the overall sales tax rate in the city of Chicago is 10.25% and the suburbs within Cook County are about 9% or so. My wife works in a retail store almost on the boundary of Cook County and a collar county and she has to deal with the fact that the sales tax where she works is quite a bit higher than down the street so to speak.

"They also noted that it might be illegal to do this without a government permit." The state of California just shut down a guy a few months ago who was making his own fuel from used restaurant cooking grease. They weren't concerned with any dangerous chemicals, or threat to public safety. He simply wasn't paying gas taxes, and that was completely unacceptable. So they shut him down. Shows how far politicians' johnny-come-lately environmentalism really goes. If going green costs the taxpayers money, that's fine. If going green costs the government money, here comes the SWAT team. "I can't wait until someone blows up the neighborhood trying to save a few cents." Last month some couple in a major city burned down their home because the gasoline they were storing in 1-gallon jugs in their closet ignited. They wanted to stock up on gas because they thought prices were going higher.
