Are all Michigan mayors simply arrogant asses? We have Kwame Kilpatrick now serving a night in jail for stupidly violating his bond; this immediately before he is to be charged with felony assault on a law officer. Give it up, man. Quit just to show that you may have at least some shread of respect for the city of Detroit.
Yet he is not the only twerp running a major Michigan city. Jim Fouts, the mayor of nearby Warren, has decreed that city employees who serve at his pleasure can only buy American cars if they wish to purchase a new car while on his staff.
Of all the lowbrow and pompous ways to try to control people! I’m sorry, folks, but as much as I think that buying American is generally a good thing, to attempt to control the private purchases of any individual is nothing short of childish grandstanding, and an insult to freedom and dignity. Keeping your job should never depend on what kind of car you drive.
Especially this; you don’t think that at least some Americans prosper when a foreign car is sold? Come now. If you want to make a statement, Jim, make a better one than: you’re mine, so drive what I tell you to.
Jerk.
