Great, car prices are gonna keep going up.
Companies are not allowed to make profits
It sure makes it tough for lower income folks to afford a car esp since Chairman O’s cash-for-clunckers took many servicable (and affordable) cars off the market. Never mind that tho liberals are the friend of the poor... :/
Obama and his pet unions have killed the American made cars, I will never purchase another one.
guess i better buy that new truck now.....sheesh
This increase will help pull the DNC out of bankruptcy. More money, higher dues. Higher dues, more union contributions to the ‘RATS.
Sounds like the auto workers are setting the stage for more
imports from plants outside of the US.
I buy Toyotas—Eff ‘em.
Personally I have no problem with Union negotiated contracts in the private sector (in general).
If American car mfg costs get out of hand so too will the selling price of their product. The customer will then decide if they want to buy the American product or perhaps an import if those mfg have maintained a tighter control on costs. Alternatively they may opt to buy nothing new at that time and instead decide to buy late model used.
In the end the free market will determine what the selling price of any given commodity is as long as there remains competition.
Buy American? I’ll never buy one that isn’t American made.
Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and killed thousands of our soldiers. I don’t buy their crappy cars.....
In my entire life, I have never owned an American car.
>>Companies are not allowed to make profits
Men and women who get up and go to work every day make those profits for the company. They are private corporations. The company makes profits and the employees who actually build cars should receive some of the rewards too.
>>In my entire life, I have never owned an American car.
These days, you need to clarify that. I own a Mustang that was made in Canada and a Toyota made in Kentucky. Which one is an American car?
After I junked my POS Chrysler in 1988...
It had under 100,000 miles on it, everything fluid that could leak ...did
I started buying Toyota, Nissan products...
They in no form or fashion make crappy cars...
Both Toyota's I owned had almost 300,000 miles on them with just general maintenance and a few timing belts, when I sold them...
So in summary you would prefer to buy from union criminals like the UAW who just in the last ten years actually make a decent product because of a war that happened 70 years ago...?
Yeah.... I’ve never owned anything except General Motors. Well, I take that back. My first car was a Plymouth Belveder that I bought from the neighbor. Other than that 40 years of General Motors. I’ve owned Pontiacs, Chevys, Cadillacs, a corvette, Camaros, Firebirds, GMC, Silverado, Buicks.... I’ve never really had a lemon. But yeah.... I don’t want no JAP car.
$60 per hour times 40 hours per week times 52 weeks is nearly $125K per year. Am I in the wrong line of work????
Don’t forget overtime.
My Camry was made in Kentucky and had a higher U.S. content than my Chrysler . I understand your thoughts. I will always buy US made and non Union if possible. The unions give aid to my enemies.
