This guy points out how minuscule a amount that is in the big picture and then he is called a socialist?

Geeze, there is white, black and a whole lot of shades in between.

I think it’s fantastic that Mercury donated money to Florida for hurricane relief. With that being said I’ve donated more than that in the last 2 years to the Florida economy. Sad but true.

Also i don’t think his comment came off as socialist…I think it came off as a Mercury customer who has been screwed for decades like myself over paying for parts. With a $5 billion dollar valuation…$25k seems not so news worthy.

Notice who I replied to. My comment wasn't necessarily aimed at Marcus. It certainly was "aimed" at Cheech, either, but more in agreement. But I have seen comments like his from a CRAP ton of socialists, either self- admitted or in denial. It's what they do. They always have better plans for your money than you do.

I donated $100 to the Florida effort. That is considerably less than what Marcus pointed out, percentagewise, in regard to what I very often charge on a per-piece price for the custom machined parts I make. You know what my reply back along with the receipt was? "Thank You".

Thanks. Brad.
