A parable ..*Ahem*
Now, everyone knows a car is important to a successful life. Heck, One might say a CAR is downright NECESSARY to even live these days. But, as luck would have it, not everyone is able to afford a car.
Therefore, following the logic of this Congress' solution to healthcare, let's extend this to CARS.
I believe everyone should OWN A CAR, even if they don't want one. They should be FORCED to have one, because it is simply unfair that there be people who have several cars, while there are some who have none.
Therefore, Congress, in its infinite wisdom, should make a LAW forcing everyone to own a car, and if they do NOT purchase a CAR by 2014, they wil have to pay a FINE of $1,000 dollars (an arbitrary amount we came up with that we think some people will be able to pay, but just expensive enough to incentivize them to buy a car).
Now, they can't just have any old car. NO, that would be wrong!:no:
They must have a nice, fine car. Provided to them by their employer, who will no doubt deduct the cost for the car from the person's wages. But thats okay. Even if they are barely getting by on minimum wage, we don't care. The important thing is THEY HAVE A CAR NOW, and can feel special driving down the road, smoking cigars and listening to music. Their dog beside them.
If they have no dog, they may have one provided for them.
If they cannot afford a NICE car (which the govt has not specified the definitions of nice, or even what is essential, or even what defines a CAR, we just want them to have one, the specifics we shall leave to the regulatory committees...), the GOVERNMENT will pay whatever difference there is between what they can afford and the cost of a NICE CAR.
If they cannot afford ANY CAR, one will be given to them, a 1980 2-door YUGO, tires optional. In addition, there may be a gas allowance issued, per month. But only just enough to get to work and back one day a week.
If the citizen (aka, COMRADE) does NOT comply to this demand by the all mighty government, FROM WHICH ALL RIGHT AND PRIVELEGE ORIGINATES, a fine of $1,000 dollars will be levied upon them, for flaunting the law, and for wishing to go against the dictates of society which says we must own cars to help America REBUILD!
to summarize:---BUY A CAR, OR ELSE!
