Some people seem to have overlooked the pile of money given to VW to open their plant in Dixie. Or the myriad of tax breaks given to Toyota and Nissan.

If the company is doing well, it makes sense that the employees should also be doing well. Pete likes to tell us that corporations are made up of people. Well, unions are made up of their members. And when the company is making money, the people putting the product out of the door should be making money. Unfortunately, when the employees are not represented, that often does not happen.

Regards,

D-Ray

You are simply misinformed but it appears that you know that. Why do you persist? Does it get your yayas out? It's kinda comical but ultimately sad that you've taken the easy way out by letting Faux and Friends, Rush and the Blubberer do your thinking for you.

I see your boy genius Romney now wants the government to sell all their GM stock. Hey even I know that dumping 30% of the GM shares on the market alll at once is a pretty stupid move if you hope to get a good price.
