Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: the Blame Game

Hi Chris,
This isn't really a political forum but I am doing something about it. I own a company that is "manufacturing and selling" trikes to US customers and abroad. We are "net" exporters. We bring in more money into the US than we send to Rotax outside the US because everything else besides the Rotax on our trikes has local roots from the 4130 tubing to the little rubber grommets to the Adel clamps to the tefzel wire to the nut and bolt to the wing sail material (which most others use Dimension Polyant from Germany). More of the Revo is manufactured here than RV kits from Van's (Phillipines) plant. What else do you want me to do?

I wasn't the one who started a useless war based on a lie (depending on your party affiliations) and I also wasn't the one who gave billions to Bank Of America and AIG and others because government was reducing regulation and asleep at the wheel. Hey but at least this time our wall street took the world into the dumpster with it :).
