As is my money. The more I have left, the better my family does. Want
charity, see Obama.


Most people in the US are non-union and don't get bailouts.

Thanks for supporting the Chinese and others. Your price point
attitude helped tank the (non-union) knitting, sewing, and apparel
economy in my state.

Protectionist legislation is a small price you'll have to pay for your
philosophy.

If fuel goes sky high again, you won't be able to buy your foreign
price point goods. When that happens and jobs come back onshore, and I
think it is inevitable, the local folks that despised unions and were
good company men won't see things like they did before. They'll
remember how expendable they were and the resurgence of unions,
especially in places were they were previously shunned, will be huge.

Again, thanks.


A "good company man" is a worker who has been laid off and thinks it is
his fault.

There used to be a sort of social contract between workers and their
employers in this country, but that was pretty much destroyed during the
Reagan years when greed became the most important credo of corporations.
