>Okay, how many people believe that politics in the USA are affected if not
dominated by people with money? (okay, okay, ....pessimistic and
generalizing but bear with me a minute.) Have you ever noticed that those
people with a great deal of money also have a large number of toys. Have
you noticed that some of those toys are "collector cars". Do you think that
they will go along with the government passing laws that crunch their toys?
I don't think so. They will use their influence to optimize their enjoyment
of their cars. I am always pleasantly surprised at the number of people of
influence in the US that play with cars. Bill Gates has an exotic Porsche.
The guy that owns Blockbuster has a collection of cars. Even President
Clinton (can't stand that guy) has a '65 Mustang. It doesn't hurt to lobby
<as a group but I don't think I'll lose sleep over this issue.
Um, on the other hand, the People With A Great Deal Of Money generally
find ways to avoid that which affects those of us without a great deal of
money. Another thing the PWAGDOM like is to have even more money. And
if the great majority of collector cars get crushed, then their cars will
be worth all that much more. Wouldn't Bill just love to see every
Mustang in the country destroyed, except for his? Suddenly his car
would go from being worth $6,000 to $600,000.
