I don't consider UAW members "slobs", but I agree with his overall

I was a bit over the top with that. *I don't really blame the workers,

automakers into paying this kind of money to unskilled workers,

It's past time to break the unions and come back to reality. *They've
outlived their usefulness, and turned into leeches on society as a

A couple posts ago you were bragging about how well along you and your wife
were in your retirement plans.

Not bragging, just stating facts. I'm doing a larger version of what
my Dad did, since it's almost certain that SS won't be around when I
retire. I'm not depending on anyone, or any goverment, to take care
of me.

I suppose the unionized force should be happy sitting on a park bench
begging for crumbs to eat and a lump of coal to heat their single room
dwelling.

Not at all. They should just live within their means, and be paid a
decent wage for their work. If they want to earn more and have more
financial security, they should do what most do and go to school, get
more education, and ultimately a better paying job.

Twisting a corporation's arm (oops, collective bargaining) for more
and more until they put that corporation under only serves them in the
short term. Once that company can no longer function with the wages
and benefits the union has saddled them with, then no one has a job.
Then they *will* be sitting on that park bench begging for crumbs,
huh?
