Washington wants their votes! So what would have happened if we said to Toyota, Honda and others that you can produce and sell here but for every vehicle you sell we will apply a $2000+ surcharge to level the playing field? We gave them the market - GAVE IT TO THEM!! INCREDULOUS!! DB9 @mayer_ray_nagin
