Asking for my fellow FReepers to help out by calling, faxing, writing or emailing their Congressmen and asking why they are allowing our tax dollars to go to ACORN, etc. via the so called "stimulus" package for dead beats and not helping out this vital aircraft company that keeps this country working.

Only the rich buy airplanes. Next.

Beacuse the aircraft company can’t arrange voter fraud.

I used to work for Schuster. He is a decent guy.

This division is a niche market aimed at folks with bucks.
This will be tough on the folks in Kansas

They sell light-to-medium aircraft, from single-engine piston trainers to corporate jets. Their crosstown rival, the Cessna company, makes and sells similar-sized aircraft. BOTH are laying off at this time.

Sour economy? Yes, but there's more. Not only is there no bailout, Obama's class warfare has anyone with a business jet thinking he has a target painted on his back. Obama and the Media say they're all elitist fatcats stepping on the necks of the poor. Jets are being sold or hidden away in hangars with doors tightly shut. New orders are nonexistent, I'm sure.

Evidence? Only anecdotal. A friend works in aviation maintenance, replacing brakes and tires - his business is down over 50%...

This brings to mind the effort some years back to impose a luxury tax on yachts and aircraft. They went after the "rich" and destroyed the jobs of thousands of working people.

The rich buy things the working people build!
