After tomorrow, there's probably going to be more of that! Or perhaps a corvette in every driveway to "spread the wealth".

After tomorrow, we'll be allowed to own our Vettes, but will be taxed enough to allow illegal immigrants to own them too. Paid for by us. This election will be like voting to get cancer or TB.

And, I agree, every day is Corvette day.

Yup it's true.... A new Corvette tax will be introduced.
Anyone driving their Corvette less than 10,000 miles a year will taxed$1,000 per month. The spread the wealth policy will then be used to buy the Corvettes that those who are taxes cannot afford to keep . Under the law if you cannot pay the tax, the liquidation price is Manheim wholesale value. These purchased Corvettes will then be given free of charge to economically challenged registered democrats. The bill also provides them with Government funded insurance, gasoline and GMPP.

Yea well I went to the grocery store the other day and this very well dressed lady pulls out her EBT card (government food card) to buy stuff, well I only have one item so I get out just behind her and she walks to the parking lot and gets into a brand new with 45 day plates Cadi Escalade. Go figure!!!!

You know, honestly, I don't like Pelosi but if in fact she shut that legislation down, good for her -- Congress has much better work to deal with than some stupid day to commemorate a car. A "national corvette day" would just be some BS feel-good pork for morons. Nancy & co., let's get to work fixing health care, the wars, the economy, etc.
