From what I've been able to find out: 8000 are all in, 2900 are all in for $1000.00. Do these numbers appear to be correct?

THat sounds about right. I went all in on January 31st and am #2638. so 2900 sounds about right based on the overall numbers

 

[silverfox]

So in percentages, 80% go all in, 35% of them go all in for $1000.00.

As long as the Elio is produced in a non-union environment it will be a success.

VW, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Mercedes, BMW, Nissan, etc.. etc ALL have Union employees. Everyone of them. Every one.

Look at this way, you can purchase lottery tickets or go to the casino and have a 100% chance of ending up with nothing or you can invest in the future of the American worker. This is a perfect opportunity to create 1500 new jobs in the USA and give the big 3 a kick in the balls. Remember the big three used the bailout money (your tax dollars) and purchased a bus ticket to Mexico or some other country and left the American worker on the street. Invest your money in Elio, at a minimum you will take pride in the fact that you are supporting the American worker. This car will also help cut out on the need for foreign oil. Show your loyalty for the Country that you live in. Just because you drive a Chevy don't mean you support the American worker, look at the Vehicle Identification Number on your Chevy, there is a good chance that it starts with the number 3 meaning that it was made in Mexico.

S & L bailout cost (according to the General Accounting Office 1996) nearly half a trillion dollars with more than $130 billion from tax payers. Adjusted for inflation is $193,811,854,684 in todays money. Auto bail out cost $80 billion, but $54.6 billion has been recovered..........Then there's Walmart, how much do they cost taxpayers? They are not paying employees enough so they qualify for aid. The amount is staggering. So we can argue all day about programs costing tax payers money.

Unions destroyed Detroit, Shreveport and the South for that matter doesn't need that kind of crap.

I wish it were that simple. Because of low paying jobs, a lot of their employees get food stamps ect. So, walmart is basically subsidized by taxpayer dollars. The kicker is if we stop going, we will be subsidizing a whole lot more on welfare including suppliers. It's a vicious circle that will end in collapse of the USA. Earned income credit must go!

Yep. And, not one of them has an enclosed vehicle priced at less than $10,000. Not one.

Give me a break. Walmart employees get paid exactly what is required to operate the business and offer low prices to the consumer. Raise their wages and the cost gets passed to the consumer. I guess you are one of those who thinks flipping burgers at McDonalds should pay enough to sustain a household of 5 illegal aliens.
