If true, this is stunning. Part of me says it can't be true. I'm trying to find ways to verify or disprove it.
It does jive with President Obama's stated intention to "return the wealth to its 'rightful' owners", and otherwise "spread the wealth around". But I frankly didn't expect him to do it in such a baldfacedly larcenous way.
Can anyone provide any evidence that either supports or disproves this?
My name is George C. Joseph. I am the sole owner of Sunshine Dodge-Isuzu, a family owned and operated business in Melbourne, Florida. My family bought and paid for this automobile franchise 35 years ago......
Mod cut-copyright issues-click link for more info.
I suggest that they look at their franchise agreement. If they are due compensation it should be in the contract, if not... that's capitalism.
I agree.....
They are a franchise. The company can terminate the agreement. (as far as I know)
And they are doing it.
Guess they (the dealer) didn't read the small print......
If you want to blame somebody, blame the wallstreet banks and investors that gambled everything away.

It does seem crazy, but then the 0bama administration seems to be a bunch of authoritarians, recreating the private sector as they see fit.
One dealership owner, I heard on the radio, said his dealership was one of the most profitable in his area, and yet he is being closed down, and other faltering dealerships were given the green light to take over his business. And to top it off, he said he was begged by Chrysler to take a shipment of new vehicles, and promised they had his back, and now he is stuck with them.
I hope our constitutionally protect press starts to actually cover all this from a non-partisan viewpoint, and actually keep us informed of the truth, and not regurgitate Washington, spin merchant, rhetoric.

Are you actually trying to argue that based upon Chrysler's brilliant(sic) tack record as a company that the illogic of this decision (if the story is correct) couldn't possibly be emanating from Chrysler's management without any input from the government? If so, surely you jest.

Chrysler (and GM) is telling them, not the government.
In many cases they should have done it years ago.
Some of them sold less then 5 new cars a month. (They sold lots of used cars, but that doesnt help the company)
