Much has been made of the Toyota recall lately. I guess when a company of that size has serious problems, it's bound to get headlines. But this particular recall seems to have especially piqued the interest of the federal government and, therefore, the public. And I think I know why. When the government decided to unconstitutionally take over GM last year, it did so to the dismay of every GM competitor for the simple fact that the GM, which was previously nothing more than a flailing competitor, was now the boss. They were now making the rules. In other words, Toyota and Ford were in competition with the federal government. Can you imagine if McDonald's had to pay taxes to Burger King? Does that seem fair? Think about that next time you hear that the feds are demanding records of sensitive information from Toyota or imposing new, strict guidelines for them to follow or even smearing their brand and costing them billions.
Don't think this is a possibility? Here is a great report by John Stossel on just one instance of crony capitalism happening out in the open for all to see. This one's about windows. Talk about transparency.
