Roman empire did not have Tsar's it had Ceaser's and the like. Czar Is actually a Polish name for Tsar... And furthermore, here it is right from the dictionary.

Quote:

Usage Note: The word czar can also be spelled tsar. Czar is the most common form in American usage and the one nearly always employed in the extended senses "any tyrant" or informally, "one in authority." But tsar is preferred by most scholars of Slavic studies as a more accurate transliteration of the Russian and is often found in scholarly writing with reference to one of the Russian emperors.
I dare you to pronounce "Czar" and be anywhere near close the pronunciation of the actual word. :lol:

I studied some russian, and spoke it with my grandfather (RIP) and grandmother (RIP) back when they were alive. No problemo for me.

Anywho........back on topic......

Let them fail. A free market capitalist society demands it. My son's inlaws all buy Hondas instead of backing the big three. Why should my tax monies pay for their lack of Americanism?

my idea has always been a non-big 3 tax (or to make it more publically appealing, a Big 3 tax exemption) so people who insist on foreign cars can help with the healthcare burden of the big 3. its unethical, retarded, biased, but it would work.

I'm with you. Not necessarily a non-big 3 tax but a tax on all companies who do not have their headquarters/base in the US.
