Until you ride in a Prius you just Won't Understand the difference. Most on here, are comparing a Prius to an Ordinary Car. The Prius is NOT an Ordinary Car.

The difference is Noticeable the Second you Press the On Button, and it turns on the Electric Motor.Like flipping a light switch to turn the light on. NO Gas ONLY car does that.

Over the years, I have owned, at least 30 different cars and rented at least twice that many. I was a Salesman, on the road,and drove, about, 1,000 miles a week.

I have friends that want the Latest Technology, They have the Latest Laptop, Blackberry, iPod, etc. But, they still drive an "OLD FASHION CAR".We Encourage Innovation in everything else, we should Encourage Innovation in Cars too.

Toyota is Fresh, and Innovative. GM is Arrogant, and going broke.

The Prius is NOT an Ordinary Car.

CORPORATE WELFARE

"The $150 billion for corporate subsidies and tax benefits
eclipses the annual budget deficit of $130 billion.

It's more than the $145 billion paid out annually for the core programs of the social welfare state:
Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC),
student aid,
housing,
food and nutrition, and
all direct public assistance (excluding Social Security and medical care)."

"After World War II, the nation's tax bill was roughly split between corporations and individuals. But after years of changes in the federal tax code and international economy,

The corporate share of taxes has declined to a fourth the amount individuals pay,
according to the US Office of Management and Budget." --Boston Globe series on Corporate Welfare

Plus, right now he is working to END SSecurity.

 

Rice - BAD MOUTH?S RUSSIA  - "Obviously we have concerns ... it is important that Russia make clear to the world that it is intent on strengthening the rule of law, strengthening the role of an independent judiciary, permitting a free and independent press, of course,"
