What is wrong with you people?
AIG has a big flippin celebration in another country flying its people there on our dime to celebrate their government landfall but the big three
needing help is a no go? You can kiss it all goodbye if the auto makers leave. The government wants to break the unions because they want
an impoverished illiterate people. They are much easier to control if tearingly poor and uneducated. A thriving middle class has access to
some leisure time, allowing for a pursuit of a greater knowledge, money for their childrens further education, access to quality food, medical
care, and they spend spend spend. This is why we enjoyed the years we did have that were prosperous. A thriving middle class drives the
economy and allows for big government. Something they should "get" but are too stupid currently to realize in congress.

Which of you here is independantly wealthy? How many here can say they arent affected by a unions wages and benefits package
and the effects on their current level of income and standard of living? Get over yourselves. We will all loose if we send the big three to
China. Unions are the only fair shake a working man or woman ever had. DO NOT say they are no longer needed. China workers making goods
for American companies are virtual slaves. Three cents per garment at the Nike factory. Do not think any of you are safe just because you
have a degree. Your standard of living is affected each and every day by what blue collar workers in factories or independant companies in
unions pay their empolyees. It is a simple irrefutable fact. A factory worker in Michigan scarcely earns a living wage. The cost of living is
astonomical there and that 69.00 dollar per hour quote is not the hourly wage on a check, thats everything. Insurance, retirees benifits,
workers comp, unemployment, etc. They make much less than most and its not an easy job to work on a line. Thats a gross
understatement.
Before unions in this country, women and children were locked in factories and died when they caught fire. The owners were at home with
the keys. 12, 14, and 16 hour days were the norm, seven days a week with unsafe working conditions to boot. DO NOT assume we are more
civilized or understanding than any previous time in history. All you hav to d is watch
The Corporation to see how intrinsically
evil most are. How heartless. Unions are needed still. Industry is needed still.
And just what part of resembling automakers in a communist country is ok for congress to impose on American companies asking, no...
begging for help? This is perhaps the sadest statement of all by the ones supposedly representing the home of the free and the brave. The
American representatives have just stated on the record in order to obtain funding, we must operate as a manufacturer in a communist
country does. May god have mercy on their corrupt souls. I have none.
We will all perish without the automakers. Make no mistake.
