This really sums it up: The question we keep coming back to is this: Why is the federal government involved in what is a civil dispute between automakers and dealers? Both sides, after all, have the resources to fight it out, so let them! By taking the tack they have, federal prosecutors have sided with automakers at the expense of the dealers and their buyers. Who ends up hurt? The taxpayers! When dealers don’t make sales, their owners lose revenue, salespeople lose commissions, and the government at many levels loses tax revenue. How does any of that make sense? Oh, and by the way, isn’t it grand that our own federal government is taking even more steps to ship additional jobs overseas by preventing American dealers from selling to foreign markets? Great way to help the economic recovery!
