Local authorities on manhunt for those responsible in slaying of automotive industry giant.

Are you responsible for the death of these two men?  Their names are John and Horace Dodge.  They are brothers.  They have been deceased for quite some time, however, their spirit, an American institution lives on or does it?  Last week their baby, Chrysler, announced it may be going on the auction block to slice and dice, what just a few years ago was a strong company.  Are you responsible for this?  Will you be responsible for the death of Detroit, Michigan?

This topic goes very deep but besides our homes, our automobiles are usually the second largest asset we purchase.  So much of the GDP is tied to it that when you buy a foreign car, the trickle down is not really there.  The wealth accumulation goes elsewhere.  What would happen if China, India, or Mexico decided, hmmm, LETS START A REAL ESTATE COMPANY & BUILDING COMPANY.  Imagine if 50% of the houses in your area were sold by a foreign real estate company.  Imagine 30% of the homes in your area went into foreclosure because local people lost there jobs because others were buying foreign made houses sold buy foreign real estate companies.  Makes you think now, doesn't it?  This is what is happening in Detroit because people are purchasing foreign cars.

So what kind of car do you drive?  Do you feel even a little responsible for the homicide.  Will you pull the trigger or unload the gun?
