Another fallacy is this whole bit about labor being 10% of the total
cost per car.

That is total bull****.

I've been watching this. It's a creative way of accounting for costs. And
it's not *pay*. It's burdened labor rates, which determine cost.

Well, let's put it this way - in simple terms. The average Ford
Taurus, new off the lot, is about $19,000 comforbably equipped. What
the UAW wants you to believe is that the labor cost for building that
car is $1,900.

Sure it is.

By the way, when was the last time a major manufacturing industry had
a 10% labor cost to make it's goods? When was the last time ANY
industry had a 10% total labor cost?

Bull**** - and we're going to pay for it right up the old pooper.

If you listen to jerks like Olbermann, you'd think...

Olbermann is a total ass. He was when he was at ESPN and I have that
on a very good source - one of his former partners lives here in
Woodstock and is a associate member of the FD.
