Default Finally, good financial news

any time I am in Wal-Mart I see all kinds of hypocrite union
people... You all badmouth the capitalist and the freemarket but your the
first to flock to these box stores to save ten cents on an item


Funny, related incident:
I was selling cars in a Chrysler dealership when Lee Iacocca saved the company.

As Chrysler was moving from intensive care to general bed rest, a guy stopped
by the dealership one day and said, "Show me one of these K Cars everybody is
taling about."

We checked out every feature of the car, and the prospect kept saying "I have
to admit, that's not bad, but I'll never buy one of these cars."

After he repeated his statement "I'll never buy one of these cars" a few times,
I had to ask, "Why do you feel that way?"

"Because Lee Iacocca may have saved Chrysler, but he did it on the backs of my
union brothers and sisters, that's why! He made the average working guy take a
pay cut. I have not use for any company that
doesn't hire union help at decent wages."

And with that, he climbed back into his
(Japanese built, pre-factory in the US) Toyota Corolla and drove out into the
night.
:-)

Most people's idealism is as long as a direct line from their mouth to their
wallet. No longer.
