"Do you think smart people will buy American cars if they know part of the overpriced crap's cost will go to fund the corrupt union assaults on democracy?"
Considering that 16.5% of the private sector are labor force are union members, and 38% of federal government workers are union, and 44% of local government workers are union. I don't think they are concerned with where the money goes...if they were, they would leave the union. And being that 50% of America approves of the political alignment of the Unions, your point is not valid. I am not a union member by choice because I disapprove of the way my money would be spent....I am the minority though in that I actually give a damn.
"I mean, while there are overwhelming reasons for any educated consumer not to buy American cars shouldn't that seal the deal?"
I kind of like my chrysler....have been a ford man up until I bought it.....never had an american car that was less than 30 years old..(I also own a '59 chevy and '70 buick) in the shop for the last 10 years due to anything above and beyond scheduled maintenance. I will buy american again.
KIA is trash, Mercedies is of questionable quality, as is BMW (my neighbor just put in a $1750 mufler on a 3 year old car!). I would never own an Audi. Pick ANY Russian car...not even worth the metal they're made of. Pick ANY Italian car, and you would have a better chance of winning on a $1 lottery ticket than trying to take a trip cross-country without breaking down. I could not afford a Pugeot...the maintenance that is. Suzuki makes toy cars...even they're bikes suck. Mitsubichi is renowned for transmission issues.
Now Honda, Toyota, and even Nissan are great cars (especially Toyota)...but being that these 3 cars are all UNION shops for cars made in the USA, your 2nd point is just plane silly!
"The US automakers' share will continue to shrink - it will only get smaller."
Strange, US automakers have in fact INCREASED their share over the 10 years or so....after all they are the ones who cornered the SUV market early. |
