I love this ad.
I’ve played it probably more than 100 times since Super Bowl.
Nest Ce Pa
It’s a Hybrid based on the Chevy Volt Drivetrain.
It isn’t an Electric like a Nissan Leaf or a Tesla.
Modern Styled Coupe in line with Cadillac’s Fleet Design.
Your choice of Vocation is admirable.
I’m not sure what your ultimate point is, but as a Conservative I believe that I am entitled to the fruits of my Labor.
What I choose to do with my accumulated Wealth is nobody’s business. The Ad simply shows that hard work gets you what you want. Maybe that same person you see in the Ad would give generously to Charity in real life, as Conservatives are known to do.
Those donated Dollars allow people like yourself to work for “non-profit” organizations that help the less fortunate.
Life has never been fair and it never will be.
I spent the last decade caring for my Late Mother’s Sister who lost her Sight to Glaucoma in her mid 20’s. She just passed away at age 89 a few months ago. The last year was tough with her having to endure Dialysis Treatment 3 times a week. I was able to work around her schedule and spent 12 hours a week being there with her. It was an ordeal for her, but I did everything I could do to make it less so.
I also take care of my 91 Year Old Father. Thank goodness my Lifetime of Hard Work allowed me to Semi-Retire at age 60 so I would be available to assist my Elderly Family Members. I don’t know what I would have done if I was still working in my previous 24/7 Job for a Fortune 500 Company.
I have worked hard all my Life and saved my money. My choices in how I spend that money, just as Rush Limbaugh spends his, has nothing to do with being “ostentatious” and a Conservative to boot.
Rush gives away Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars a Year, much to the Lymphoma and Leukemia Foundation and other Charities including those that help the Children of Armed Forces Personnel killed in action while serving their Country. Are we supposed to care that he owns a Gulfstream G5? The Taxpayer’s aren’t paying his Bills, he does.
Again, I applaud your choice of service to your fellow Man, but it is YOUR choice. I found your Post accusatory, and I admit up front I might be mistaken on what your intent was. If so, my apologies. I am just reacting to what I perceive.
It comes down to the simple fact that we don’t really know what people do or how they feel. Because they choose to buy a nice Car, live in a nice House or buy anything that you deem “ostentatious” does not tell the whole story.
Oh, OK. I think a lot of us just assumed it was an electric car because the driver unplugs it at the end of the ad.
Since they drive Cadillac’s, I guess it should marketed to them.
