    Thirty-eight years at Chrysler I heard and saw, “Steal all you can, while you can at the TOP.” ALL the price stickers on each vehicle (and all other auto manufacturers too) should list all the FREE trips;including lodging and transportation for families and employee, tickets for any and all entertainment and sporting events, food, vacations, cars, gas, health and life insurance, bonus payments,etc. Which the uninformed buyer paid out of their pockets for. The American auto manufacturers WERE NOT and DO NOT CARE WHAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS. In the 80’s Management was sworn to secrecy as to their Million dollar bonuses they received on top of their salaries. AND, the MEDICAL industry copies this practice too!

    You are not alone - Michigan. http://www.nolanchart.com/article3055.html
    During the tour Kruschev remarked to Secretary Benson that communism would eventually consume democracy. Benson replied that Americans would never accept such a drastic change in their form of government as communism. Kruschev then told Benson that it was already beginning to happen. He said that Americans were being fed one small bite of communism at a time, and that over the course of several years, Americans will have accepted so many communistic ideals, including a massive and uncontrollable federal government, that one day we would wake up to discover that we are a democracy only in name - that our policies and methods of government will be communist in nature. Kruschev concluded that it will be the slow injection of socialist/communist principles into America - not nuclear missiles - that would destroy our nation. I believe my great-grandchildren will leave the U.S. for other countries for freedom!
