All you have to do is claim you have a million followers. So, extortion is now extweetion?

Keep in mind that (MAYTAG R.I.P.-2005) Is not Maytag anymore but Whirlpool!

Yep the last American built appliance company was bought by Whirlpool and dissembled and shipped overseas. Now Maytag exists in name only.

Maytag refused to ship manufacturing overseas and keep making them in the U.S. and our government rewarded them by Taxing them into oblivion!

Not only Maytag but their subsidiary's, Magic Chef, Amana and everybody's favorite vacuum Hoover. All built here, all lost to oversea production.

We as American people should not tolerate the Tax loopholes company's get for shipping out our jobs and shutting our factory's down.

Get special interests out of Washington and bring allot of rope!

Maytag went under because it bought out companies that it couldn't afford to and didn't need to while at the same time it allowed its production standards to fall badly resulting in expensive recalls and the loss of its good name.
It was then bought out by another American company that builds appliances in America.
If you want to buy another American built appliance the get a Wolf or a Viking.
Oh sorry Freiwillige you were trying to say something about there not being American built appliances anymore:rotfl:

Woah that sounds strangely familiar. Some other big corporation...er... orginization is doing that same thing right now. Hrmmm.

Extweetion... LOL like that.

Nice twist Steamwake
But.......
The problem with your twist there is that if the organisation you mean didn't buy out part of those companies it would still get saddled with most of their liabilities, that doesn't apply in the case of Maytag choosing to but out Amana.

It was meant as an amusing comparison nothing more.

Of course its different.
