If GM fails, (and I approve of it's failure 100%), it will show the government that taking over free-market enterprises clashes with the principles on which this country was founded...
Simple question that I've asked on this forum before but never got an answer yet...
"When was the last (FIRST!) time the government involved itself in free-market enterprises and ran it successfully?"...(Answer - NEVER)... |

I know I'm sort-of pulling a fast punch with this, but I just don't understand how keeping traditions is more important to right-wingers than life itself as it would seem.
