Hey who’s up for an ugly, overpriced electric car?
Another reason to officially BOYCOTT GM
Well that would make gas 4.46 cents a gallon. Close to 5 bucks. I was just getting happy that the gas was getting cheaper and cheaper everyday and now they want to raise the price. UGH!
Dan, you’re a moron.
Ideally, I could see replacing the income tax with a gasoline (energy) tax increase but liberals want both taxes, and many voters prefer the idea that someone else pays so a gas tax is generally unpopular. Short term such a move wouldnt help the economy at all but it would long term.
My view on taxes : make them visible and make 'everyone' pay them, not just a small % of public. You want voters to learn that all the spending they demand comes at a cost TO THEM.
Bought a car last month....guess what brand was so off my radar I forgot to boycott it?
General Motors needs to do the marketplace a favor:
DIE!
This Akerson is another James Taggart.
Pure brilliance. How about a 50% tax on pizza to encourage the consumption of healthier food? Maybe an X-box or Nintendo tax to encourage physical activity for youths? Wow, the possibilities are endless.
It is so easy to tell the average taxpayers to pay more in taxes when you are rolling in the dough with your million dollar paychecks. A huge increase would not even be noticed by you. Government Motors JERK!
We will still hate the Volt
Who’s up for a dollar more on gas? Our communists black Muslim King, that is who. Why stop there? Make it 10 a gallon and the civil war will start.
GM invites you to let them know what you are thinking. Drop them a line at:

Subject: Purposed $1 per gallon tax hike
Dear Mr. Akerson,
It’s come to my attention that you’re advocating additional fuel taxes to subsidize vehicles your company makes and no one wants to buy. I suspect you’ve been studying the principles of Marx and Mao and believe this is best for your company.
Sir, my response to you is quite simple....F YOU!
Signed,
Current and future Honda owner.....
What is another dollar a gallon, when you make $9 million a year?
Conversation went something like this:
Obama calls his lackey at GM.
“You have 6 months to increase sales of Volts or you’re out”.
Obama lackey at GM calls marketing:
“You have 2 days to figure out how I can increase sales of Volts or you’re out!”.
Marketing calls back later that day: Boss there’s no way we can do that unless the price of gas goes way up, like a dollar a gallon!
Obama lackey thinks for a moment; calls a press conference.
Hey, who’s up for throwing Dan off the top of the RenCen and seeing if he bounces?
(No actual idiot car execs were harmed in the making of this post.)

UP YOURS first, Ackerman!
translation: we don’t want to retool our entire production line to make 45MPG rice burners, only to have some smart-aleck competitor come along and start kicking our a*s with a line of souped-up SUV’s
