General Motors Commercials Paid for By Tax Payers Encourage Job Losses at Southern US Plants

General Motors produces cars that many people no longer want to buy. The GM corporation, now partly owned by the United States government is a slave to the United Auto Workers Union, which has burdened the company with huge union contracts and benefits. While General Motors takes taxpayers money, they plan to remove jobs out of the United States to China, Mexico, and South Korea—all with money given to GM by the United States taxpayers. They are a shameful corporation.

Currently, all the Howie Long commercials as well as the rest of General Motors’s commercials are backed by the United States government. That means if General Motors defaults on the commercial to the local television and the network, your tax dollars go to pay General Motor’s advertising debt. So isn’t it shameful that General Motors is the first to attack Toyota for a problem with the gas pedal?

The automobile manufacturing world is complicated these days. American companies like General Motors, while taking taxpayer dollars, look to further invest in foreign countries. Companies like Toyota and Honda invested money in American jobs by creating profitable plants in the south. I don’t approve of General Motors attack on Toyota with taxpayer dollars, whether it be through government financed and back commercials or incentives made possible with taxpayer dollars to encourage people to part with Toyota for lesser quality General Motors cars. Toyota provides American jobs. We should work on protecting the brand to ensure these jobs are secure.
