When I use the word pre-text, I mean that an actual performance comparison of the victimized dealer was better and had the ability to remain better than the dealers that were not closed.

Something you seem to not understand is that every one of those cars on the dealer's lot HE OWNS. They were purchased from Chrysler, with the dealer's bank guaranteeing the floor plan. If he sells these cars at 500 a whack, HE eats the difference. This fact is especially important to understand in realizing the bind these guys are in, since American's are bargain hunters when it comes to cars and WILL do all they can to drive prices down...especially with the low faith in Chrysler atm. It's doubly damaging because these same dealers were told by Chrysler 6 months ago that they needed to help the manufacturer by taking extra inventory, with promises by Chrysler that they WOULD make it good with them financially for any losses they may incur (I guess they were trying to stay afloat long enough to get bailed out). So these guys are sitting on in some cases 60% more inventory than they have planned for....and if they cant move it by the close date they're screwed. HARD. See, children, this is exactly why you do NOT EVER allow a government to nationalize an industry. Ummm….selling the cars at 500 a pop would hurt the dealer, not Chrysler.

NO ONE will want to contribute to this economy or pay the idiots wages. Lets not forget ALL of the TAXES, LAND PROTECTION, and penalties being imposed on the American Oil Companies...which will inevidably put them out of business as well and drive their jobs to Foreign Oil Companies....and lets not forget the support services for both the American Auto Industry and the American Oil Industry....truckers, Helicopter Pilots, A&P Mechanics, steel industry, welding...etc etc etc and the list goes on and on...and ALL of these people will be out of work as well!!! The BALL is rolling and the wish is becoming a reality for the usurper! -aTb -aTb good thinking Tim, but unfortunately for the Dealerships that are loosing their franchise to another dealer are not being compensated and their workforce will be out of work…the dealership will be busy dealing with Bankruptcy…I think other opportunities will be out of the question until they come out of the woods…especially with the Gestapo in power and the usurper at the head.
