[quote=macromaniac]Scarlet, take a chill pill. If you want to defend the UAW and a business model that makes no sense at all then feel free….you may not want to do it in this camp though….check out this graph when you get a minute….
Thanks for the advice. I knew I was gonna take a beating but I never shy away from this arguement. In no area can I think of is the average American more selfish and ignorant.
Your graph link is a perfect example. Do you know why it looks so crazy? Do you actually believe its because the UAW worker brings home big fat pay checks?
I have a feeling you don’t. You know its because of healthcare. That chart shows wages and benefits combined. GM has 100 years of people they promised pensions and benfits too. The tens of thousands of Americans GM supports (so tax payers don’t have too((yet)) is lumped into the poor UAW workers pay by the MSM and you get the absurd $70 an hour number they toss out.
I’m getting tired and I know I’ll never get through to any of you but at least why don’t you go look at our healthcare system versus Japan’s and how it affects that number in your graph. Maybe you be enlightened.
