The silence is deafening...

GM, Ford and Chrysler shedding dealers... and the Administration and congress are mum... "we the people" broke up Ma Bell to increase competition and give the public lower prices... "we the people" did away with deregulation of the airlines to increase competition and give the public lower prices... BOTH actions have proven to have been a mistake... the SEC blocked the merger of Dish and DirectTV to keep the competition and give the public lower prices... the rational being... competition keeps prices low.... What am I missing here....

Fewer dealers = less negotiating for price = higher prices= higher sales and personal property taxes... Now I get it....

Have you noticed the deafening silence from government over the higher gas prices??? The sales (7.75%) tax on a gallon of gas at $2.25 = .$. 171/2 ... and at
$3.00 = $23.1/4 ... a 25% tax increase... Now I get it...

Wall Street and Government love the lowered value of the dollar... making EVERYTHING tied to a barrel of oil more expensive to produce... and will cost more at retail... higher prices = higher sales tax... Now I get it...

A real Forest Gump this one!! With big government now in big business... hmmmm big government.... big business... yeah the same thing... life may be a box of chocolates... but each piece now has a bite taken out....
