| Rush Limbaugh: The Death Panel People Are Grilling Toyota About A Defective Product |
| 2010-02-25 |
| "An organization is accused of selling a defective product that unintentionally harms the people who buy the product; a product marketed and sold to keep millions of people safe. Are we talking about Toyotas or are we talking about Obama's health care plan?" "Does anybody doubt that Toyota has done their best to kowtow to the environmentalist wackos? So why the Spanish Inquisition? There's only one thing that Toyota does wrong, and that is they don't hire UAW workers and pay 'em an average salary of 73 grand, including benefits." Rush was polite: he didn't point out that the base pay for a Toyota line worker is about the same as at a GM plant; it's the benefits and the lack of feather-bedding that makes the difference. |

| #12 When I worked in a GM truck assembly we built 1400 trucks per day. We knew from simple statistics that 3 of those trucks would be involved in a fatal accident. If we could of figured out which 3, GM might be in better shape today. |

| #11 Payback to the Unions for their support by bludgeoning Toyota. That's all this is. And since the Government now owns GM (not to mention the Union owning the Democraps) - there is a very big conflict of interest here. |

| #10 Don't forget card check. It was designed for the UAW to go after the car plants in the south. |

| #8 Seems like Rantburgers are on to this one. Toyota closed its last union plant in Fremont, CA. As pointed out there the remainder of Toyota plants are in right-to-work states. All those union trips to the Whitehouse were not just social visits. There is more here than being reported by the press.

| #2 2 deaths per year attributed to the Toyota defects. Out of 40,000 annually in the US, 2 per year caused by Toyota. There is more to this than meets the eye. The government has a vested interest in driving sales away from Toyota now that it is a direct competitor of Toyota. This is basically an inquisition of Toyota by the owners of GM and Chrysler. |
