All indications are that GM is once again headed for bankruptcy due to high
labor and retirement costs. I just don't think it's fair that the taxpayers,
most who make far less in income and benefits should help to bail them
out again. They are never again going to be able to compete in a world
market against non union car companies that put out a better product because
they are not saddled down trying to fund union wages and 4-1 people who
no longer even work. The odds are not in our favor under the new market.
Auto companies are just one example.

So, the answer is to drag everyone else down? We're all supposed to just accept the lowest common denominator? Competing for ever lower compensation? Wow! What a great path for the American people to follow.

And, you still haven't answered my other two questions either;

What does a higher rate of pay have to do with product quality?

How is the quality of the product NOT the responsibility of the company producing it?
