Off Topic. Ford wants gas tax Options

[dmenche914]

I could not believe what I read on the news (reported on Reuters), Bill Ford Jr. of Ford Motor Co. wants a $.50 gallon gas tax to encourage people to buy more efficent cars, he also wants a tax incentive to assist people buying his complex Hybrid vehicles! You all might want to write Ford about this joker, as his tax will effect all drivers, even those that get near 30 mpg in there 30 year old 914s, which is better milage than most Ford products sold today. Just venting today on a statement from a true idiot. What a self serving proposal, that would cost many of us hundereds of dollars per year.

So what he is saying is he would like to make more efficient cars be he can't because do that unilaterally because he'd be clobbered by competition.

Why doesn't the jerk ask the Feds to raise CAFE standards? That way all of the manufacturers will be forced to produce more efficient cars on a 'level' playing field.

Instead, he'd rather first lose many on a lot full of guzzlers that he can't sell because people can't afford the gas, THEN he would alter production! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
