Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Company made the mistake of flying out to Washington in a private luxury jet last month to beg for money from the government to help bail out his failing company. He didn’t think any of the taxpayers would notice. He probably didn’t think the taxpayers even realized that any bailout of his company would be coming at their expense. After all the taxpayers are stupid. That’s why Mulally makes nearly thirty million dollars per year while they’re averaging thrity thousand; but Mulally and the other two CEOs from Chrysler and General Motors came very quickly to the realization that taxpayers might be stupid but they at least know that one plus one equals two.

Along with the other two corporate executives, Alan Mulally was villified by the media for having the nerve to fly out to Washington in a luxury jet worth multiple millions to beg the government to take taxpayer dollars and bail out his company. Mulally is heading back to Washington and will not be making the same mistake twice. This time around he’s going to be driving. Here’s hoping he won’t be driving there in a Bugatti Veyron.
