Does no one here fault the morality of the buyer?!? Jesus H - its like Tom is completely absolving the buyer of any fault, here. Nobody held a gun to the buyer’s head and said “sign here”. This speaks more to the “I deserve a new car” mentality of people than it does to the sales tactics of a car dealer. Dealers are…
It seems to me that the obvious solution would be to keep the car you already have a loan on, pay that thing off, and stop buying cars unnecessarily.
Exactly this.
Yes, and absolutely not
YEAH! FUCK SAFETY WHILE ALSO SHOWING A VIDEO WITH DALE SR. IN IT!
Yea...for the first time since the 04 unlimited, I actually want a Wrangler. But jeezus they are ridiculous. I mean for a Rubicon with some toys on it you’re looking at the better part of 50K if not more. That’s just absurd for a Jeep.
This is the most important one:
Sucker punch and then the hop back/runaway. What a bitch move.
Not to mention, if the market won’t bear an increase in whatever your business is charging, that extra tax is going to come out of your paycheck.
Opinions like this make some good populist kindling, but never addresses a) how money currently collected is being wasted and how to fix that and b) what exactly would this money be used for and c) who are we punishing and to what ends?
And the response to your idea is....
I’ll expand on this—*MOST* frequent fliers are business travelers. As Mr. Party said, the tax won’t reduce their travel, it will increase their employers’ expenses. So what it will reduce is their salary, potential for raises, and even likelihood of being hired into a travel-required job in the first place.
Not everyone who logs miles in an airplane is a billionaire jet-setter. A fair number of frequent fliers (myself included) are having their travel paid for by their employer. Increasing the cost of those flights isn’t going to reduce the amount that I travel, it’ll just increase the amount my company pays for that…
