Chrysler: Look at yourselves Republicans

Looks like Chrysler, which is privately owned by rich Republicans, is pulling all its right-wing strings in DC to get it a piece of that auto bailout $$$.

Defense contractors. Big oil. Big pharma. Same thing for the past 8 years in which this Republican Administration has spent trillions and pulled every regulatory string to help its buds without any regard for everyone else. This is what you are about. While the top of the party goes on its personal feeding frenzy with your taxpayer dollars, they whip you up with issues like anti-stem cell research, anti-gay marriage, anti-liberal this and and liberal that. If you are a Republican making under 200K a year, you are getting played. Big time.

PS I am still for the auto bailout, but not to help rich Republicans. Rather I am strongly for it to help America because the terrible fallout due to one of these companies going under right now. I point this out to help Republicans understand their party's motivations and what their party is truly about.

Supposedly raise cap gain tax?


It was his campaign promise as I recall. and sales would have to be made by year end not Jan. 20. Another reason for increased sales would be to sell before values dropped to far. Tha ag economy has been better than other sectors of the economy. so far anyway. We learned our lesson on misusing debt in the 80s.

Again, there's no capital gains on land that has been depreciating in value.

There is capital gain on land that is worth more than when you bought it. I bought 40 acres in 2001 that is worth today double what I paid for it. About any land bought as recent as 3 years ago is still worth more now than 3
