Before you want to spread the next round of misinformation, why not "snope" your patently incorrect propaganda. Better yet, expand your reading horizons.
Here's what Snopes has to say about your "facts" regarding charitable contributions from automakers.
http://www.snopes.com/rumors/automakers.asp
As a man whose family mined metallurgical coal for steel in WV and whose wife's family worked in western PA steel mills, it pains me to remind you of this, but the fact is, US automakers got exactly what their shortsighted management deserved by producing crap automobiles while oblivious to the future of petroleum costs. And before you cry me a river about how the "health care component" of each US produced vehicle is so much higher than foreign cars, care to explain to me why the Big 3 turned a deaf ear to the Clinton attempt at Universal Healthcare while instead they decided to spend ten of millions lobbying against higher CAFE EPA standards and lower emissions?
