Ahh another internet myth to bust, this one is too easy.

Lets start with the math here:

40 Million X 1 Million is 40 Trillon, thats 40,000,000,000.00 That exceeds the entire gross domestic product of the US.

To put this into perspective, President Obama's entire budget proposal for fiscal year 2010 is 3-3.5 Trillion dollars

Negating the fact that the US does not have that kind of money, there are other difficulties:

The average lifespan of an American is now close to 80 years. If you forced people to retire at 50 with 1 million dollars that comes out to $33K a year, most people over 50 make more than that already. Not a good deal.

Futhermore what exactly is "American car?" Chrysler is now controlled by Fiat, an Italian firm. Many GM cars are built in Canada, while the majority of Honda and Toyota cars and trucks are built here in the US.

None of this is knock on the actual poster for the original post, just the source.
