On Thursday, May 14, 2009 I was notified that my Dodge franchise, that we purchased, will be taken away from my family on June 9, 2009 without compensation and given to another dealer at no cost to them.

So all these dealers, many like Mr. Josesph here and his 50 plus employees, will lose their jobs, while the UAW makes no concessions. What I can't figure out is how closing profitable and stable franchises, like Joseph's Sunshine Dodge, will save Chrysler money? This cannot possibly be the motive. Of course, if a dealer is out of trust (deliquent on his floor plan fees and selling vehicles without paying the manufacturer), then yea, they shut them down. Always have.

But what we are witnessing today are profitable dealers (who create the sales, pay their fees, meet their obligations) being closed. There's a fly in the ointment somewhere, and I think his name is ObaMarxist. What CEO and capitalist would close a profit center? Only a fool would. So it must be the commie pulling the strings.
