Bailing Out GM
In this mornings paper , Laura hit the main points.
Yes , everyone knows she is talking about the UAW without mentioning names. Yeah , the GM/UAW consortium. The company that :
Does not hire Tennesseans because they are bare foot , back -in-them-thar-hills , Hillbillys. Butt , they still want a log cabin to live in.
They leave small towns after the free tax incentives have dried up
Together , they caused millions of non-GM mechanics to loose their jobs. Remember that 500 million dollar research facility ?
Yeah , the UAW , the people who push and muscle people around , when they don't get their way.
Yeah , it's the UAW or the highway. Remember that slogan ?
Remember SATURN ? The little car that would change the future ? Where is it now ?
Yeah , the UAW , the people who get paid more , than the people who are expected to buy their products.
Remember when people would beat the doors down to buy a GM product ? I mean , GM could put their name on a tuna can and people would fight each other to buy it. Then GM got to thinking about better ideas and their cars : would have rust holes after 90 days , the doors would'nt close , the UAW would put a bolt on a string inside the body frame and do you remember those diesel converted gasoline engines ?
And would'nt you know it , now they want my tax money. Well why not ? After all , America has given them everything else they whined for.
Butt , I remember GM's ads stating , " Without the help of the Japanese , we could not build a quality car "
Well , the more I think about it , the more I like the idea of the Japanese bailing out GM and their UAW.
