Would the foreign auto companies build cars in America if the
host states (Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and so on) didn't give them taxpayer dollars? Sounds like they got their bailout up front.

Not only that, but they expect their workers to work for less. I say that Alabama gets too many Federal tax dollars. They get $1.40 for every $1.00 they pay in.

No wonder their senators voted against the bill.

(and what's Norm Coleman's excuse?)

4. And you'll notice that the only way Republicans can lure business
into their states is by giving corporations tax breaks so that they leave other states.

So the southern lawmakers shouldn't be talkin' bailout, when the northern states have to bail out the south after every hurricane. I don't mind bailing them out, its just their righteous attitude about how pure their "capitalist" cause is. Well, they've been ripping off their workers and citizens for 300 years.
