 paying for fuel is for schmucks while strolling through beautiful downtown lansing i noticed the charging stations for electric cars such as the chevy volt and i realize that i am really missing the boat on driving one of these oldfashioned cars that require me to pay for my own fuel these rich liberals that buy volts have the right idea draining the money from their fellow citizens like they do first off the purchase of a volt is subsidized by the government you can get up to  7500 tax credit for your toaster on wheels in addition to any additional bonuses that your state may give you the government really wants the volt to be a winner though chevrolet only sold 1600 of them last month any other model with atrocious sales numbers like that would have been dropped but when obama loves you you don t have to worry about pesky things like sales and profits in addition to free money from taxpayers with better taste in cars volt owners get a 5000 rebate from gm that s not too bad which will come in handy if you need a battery replacement outside of your warranty period as the batteries may cost up to 10000  you could buy a lot of gas with that but as long as you re still in the warranty phase 10 years 150000 miles and who is going to own a volt long enough to exceed that government motors will cover that too if you don t need to go more than 40 miles who needs gas especially with taxpayersubsidized outlets powered by those mean nasty coalfired plants that liberals hate so much if the volt came with an obama phone and a glove compartment full of ebt cards it would be the perfect leftwing car
