A long time back, the shepherds in a French province developed protective cloaks to protect themselves from rain and storms. In 1902, a car was developed, which had a similar-looking hooded compartment for the passengers to protect them from the elements. The driver of the car used to sit separately in the front. Because of its resemblance with the provincial garment, the car was named after that province. The name of this place is Limousin and the car, which went on to become one of the most famous vehicles in the history of the automobile industry, was named after it.

The first limos were any car with an enclosed passenger compartment and the driver acting as the chauffeur. The stretch limos were developed in Arkansas in 1928 by a coach building company Armbruster, as an answer to the highly popular and affordable Model T cars by Henry Ford. The stretch limo was an invention to differentiate it from the ordinary motorcars, to add the ‘X factor’ to it, in order to lure in the wealthier clients who wanted to set themselves apart from the masses.

California, the home of Hollywood, soon got caught up in the limo fever like all other US states. The people in the film industry in Hollywood were quick to realize the potential of a stretch limo to conveniently carry film sets, make-up crew and many other items. The actors were only too happy to be carried in a limo as when they stepped upon the red carpet from the back seat of a stylish limo, it immediately increased their glamour quotient. The music bands led by Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman started using stretch limos to carry their band members and equipments. In other words, limos became a status symbol for all wealthy and glamorous people in the US.

Some American entrepreneurs saw in this trend, a golden opportunity to cash in the roaring popularity of the car by renting them to common people in cities like New York and Los Angeles. It proved a huge success as limousines provided people with comfort and novelty, not to mention the electrifying sense of superiority as they step down a beautiful limo to encounter dropped jaws and envious gazes of bystanders. It proved to be equally popular with businessmen who liked the privacy of the separate passenger compartment. The limo industry, which encompasses the manufacturers, the coachbuilders, car sellers and the rental services, have never looked back.

The 21st century limos refer to a diverse types of vehicles manufactured by around 12,400 limousine companies across the US. California is one of the leading states in the US where numerous limo coachbuilders and rental services cater to the specific needs of a vast client base. Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, Ventura counties are dotted with such rental offices. The punctuality and the professionalism of all limo rental services are remarkable. This is another reason for the growing popularity of limo rental services on all occasions such as prom nights, weddings and concerts.

In 1985 a movie came out staring Richard Pryor and John Candy called “Brewster’s Millions.”  The plot: A minor league baseball player has to waste $30m in 30 days in order to inherit $300m; however he’s not allowed to tell anyone about the $300m deal.  It sounds easy but it is not because he could not have any assets to show for his wasteful spending.  They had limitations such as how much you could give to charity and lose gambling etc. 

The movie illustrates how difficult it is to spend that amount of money and to not have anything to show for it.  It is funny how our government can spend $700 Billion of our tax money and easily have nothing to show for it.  The roads are not fixed.  Traffic congestion is at an all time high.  My health care costs are not paid for, the school districts waste our tax dollars on stuff that does not help educate my children, and the list goes on and on.

Getting back to the movie, one of the biggest ways to waste money is to run for public office. Richard Pryor’s character learned that and decided to run for Mayor of New York City.  In that seen he made a very interesting observation.  He pondered the question, “Why are the candidates spending millions of dollars to run for public office when the job itself pays about a fraction of what is being spent to run for office?”

Do any of you ever wonder that same question?  I believe the President of the United States which is the highest paying job in our Federal Government which $400,000 per year as of 2000.  The president also can get a pension that can pay him or her over $7M in paid benefits before they pass away.  Also keep in mind that most of the people that run for office are already rich like George Bush and are Multi-Millionaires.

So why spend $500M – $1B for a presidential campaign for a job that only returns a fraction of that.  The ROI there is not positive but negative.  Not only that who are the people that are donating all this money and why is it so important that their candidate win?  Because these are very rich people who want to get richer and stay rich.  They are paying for their government. Your $5 donation to Barack Obama or John McCain is not going to get you good government.  If these candidates want to be president so bad let them spend their own money.

They won’t because they are not stupid.  The system was created to keep the powerful in power and the weak out of office.  They do not want to do right by the American People.  They only want to do right for their friends.  Why aren’t more Americans standing up and asking these questions?  Why aren’t more Americans upset about how things are going on Main Street and Wall Street?  If you are so upset why do you only vote Republican or Democrat?  How about None of the Above?  Vote but make your vote count and show that you all have a lack of confidence in both candidates and you want and deserve more choices except for the same 2 people that they recycle every 4 years.
