"So you think the Chevrolet Volt electric car will cost too much? Tell
that to the Chevy dealer who has already decided to charge $20,000
over the sticker price.

That's right. Months before the first Volt lands on a showroom floor,
there's enough excitement that the dealer -- who earns a living
calculating what the market will bear -- is charging nearly 50% more
than General Motors' asking price for the revolutionary car.

If that's any yardstick, the 2011 Volt is drastically underpriced.
Supply and demand, baby. It's the free enterprise system."

And foolish, 'ecology minded' Liberal Early Adopters will gladly pony up
the extra money. But, none of the excess goes to GM, it stays in the
pocket of the dealer who makes a nice fat profit on it.

The owner of that dealership must be a Republican. Or, maybe just a
hypocrite Democrat along the liines of Rangle, Kerry, Gore, et al.
