Nader is a shill.
He got his start by an out of court settlement from GM of $400,000.00
He is a dictator who has refused to mentor any successor to his 'cause'.
The free market (research Tucker, who had many safety features included in his auto) would improve automobile efficiency and safety. Unfortunately, we don't have a free market in the US. We have Rockefeller monopolies that have squeezed out, bought out and/or destroyed people like Tucker.
In over 100 years of the automobile, the average MPG hasn't changed at all. Seatbelts may be a good thing but guys like Tucker had them in the late forties, along with safety glass, pop-out windows, a padded dash and disc brakes...all in one model, not spread out over decades.
Just look at GM's role in the death of the zero emissions vehicle. They bought the innovative battery technology company and later sold it to Texaco, where it languishes on a shelf.
Meanwhile, the small handful of innovative zero emissions vehicle companies in the US lay starving for investment capital, which will keep the delivery times and prices unacceptably high.
In Ralph Nader, whom they financed with a tax-free out of court (and tidy) sum of cash, they have the token consumer advocate to give the appearance of a balance between the monopoly and consumer protection...a giant crock of BS, IMO.
Ron Paul will move to finally end the corporate political muscle and welfare for Exxon and GM that has kept us in a time loop for a century, during which we have gone from horse and buggy to Windows.
The all new GM cars!!! 4 rubber tires, an internal combustion gasoline driven engine with a steering wheel and everything, averaging 20.3 MPG. That's a huge leap of technological advance for only 100 years, eh?
I'm just sayin'...NADER...NO.
