Foreign Cars

My wife and I decided to take a trip to California so we could get a firsthand look at how our billions of tax dollars are being used.

We traveled mainly in the San Diego and L.A. areas. After a week of travel, we determined that the big problem isn’t earthquakes, brush fires or mudslides. The big problem is that somehow Californians have become out of touch with the rest of the U.S. I was appalled at the number of foreign cars I observed in the state. I am not sure if Californians are trying to send some kind of message to the rest of the U.S. by buying so many foreign vehicles or if this is some kind of status symbol.

My recommendation is if you like the billions of tax dollars sent to your state for repairing all the damage, then help generate some of it by buying American!
