"Unless gas is $3.50 or $4 a gallon, consumers are not going to want to buy those cars," York said on Monday.

Keep raising taxes and Americans won't have any money to buy your overpriced cars.

Actually, I wouldn't buy a GM, or "electric" car if gas was $10.00 per gallon.

Ya know, whenever truck drivers go on strike, commerce comes to a standstill. Why? Well, they bring the things people buy to the stores...basically.

So, I thought, what if we turned it around and people didn't go to the stores to buy the stuff they bring? Wouldn't it have basically the same effect, I mean, over the long run?

So, let them raise gas prices, we'll consolidate our trips, stay home rather than eat out, and tell Aunt Sally that you can't come visit this year.

Invest in laptops, high speed lines and webcams, so you can call your loved ones and look at them at the same time. Almost...almost...as good as seeing them in person.

That will eventually back things up, and merchants won't sell as much, therefore won't buy as much, retail, wholesale, and factory workers will get laid off, and then NOBODY will be buying any of their "electric" cars...or any cars, for that matter.

They might think if they make the wheels squeak, we'll "grease" their palms with money to buy the cars, however, sometimes the squeaky wheel doesn't get greased, it gets REPLACED.

You can fool all of the people, SOME of the time....
