When I found out they were destroying vehicles that functioned just fine, I became IRATE.

So, you're mad at what the owners of these cars, i.e.: private property, are doing?

Are you equally mad at the drivers in a demolition derby for destroying their perfectly good cars, too?

How about guys who race cars and wreck them on the track or burn up their engines?

Who are you to say what anyone else does with their own property? If I want to sell my car to the government, knowing full well, that it will be rendered useless, then what business is it of yours?

Since you seem to feel so strongly about it, perhaps you could pony up a few billion dollars to buy them, instead.

Since you seem to feel so strongly about it why don't you and your other union supporters just pony up the money and pay the tax payer back and have a real free market.

No one is mad at the car owners and the dealerships. If the govt offers you $4500 to crush a $1000 car, it’s only rational to have it crushed.

The problem is the government paying people to do this. Are you okay with the government using your tax dollar to subsidize other people’s car purchases? As a conservative you shouldn’t be.

This is nothing but a subtle leftist wealth redistribution program undertaken to accomplish certain political and social ends. It’s unprincipled, it distorts the market, it’s the Democrat-controlled government trying to look beneficent by handing out your tax dollars.

Your instinct should be to oppose this.

But you’re angry at your brother-in-law who owns a junkyard and that’s got your mind all warped.

As I stated before, I am IRATE that the government is purchasing and then destroying perfectly good cars. While the automobile belongs to the owner it is in fact "private property" and I certainly do not care what happens to them. Once they are purchase by the government through a loan from the Chinese on which I am a co-signer, they become public property. During the worst economy since the Great Depression, I don't think it is wise public policy to destroy valuable assets for the sake of the green Earth-God.

Seeing how you were unable to grasp the very simple logic of my first post, I doubt you will be able to grasp the very simple logic of this one but at least I have tried.

To review........

Demolishion Derby - Private Property, (Don't Care)

Government Spending 4500 for cars - Public Funding of socicalist stupid idea, (Don't Like)

Goverment Destroying Cars - Destroying value of public property, (Makes me IRATE)

Get it???
