I've received this 'funny' about 40 times in email.
It's good, but not a single mention of the UAW.
What I'd like to see is a nice jpeg response to send back of a bunch of UAW guys sitting around reading a newspaper saying the same thing!
"You pay us either way, baby!" with a big UAW emblem in the corner.
Something like that.
Who’s on the normal artistic crowd ping, monk? Any help?
You can pay me now or pay me later...
I’m no artist, but I attempt to make my point by refering to the UAW’s contribution to the car industry as a “MAFIA TAX”.
So, if some artist would like to incorportate that concept, have at it!
I would spread that one around if it didn’t have the “S” word all over it. Some other forums I belong to have rules against that word.
I zoomed in and read the small print, LOL. Good one....
now THAT’s funny.
Somebody ought to propose financing the bail-out with a 5% tax on all union dues.

Solidarity November / December 2008 Vol. 51, No. 11-12 International Union, UAW
President: Ron Gettelfinger
With unemployment rising, prices soaring and our global financial system in a meltdown, it comes down to this: Whom do we trust to stand up for working people and working families?
In this year’s presidential race, Barack Obama is a candidate we can trust on the issues that really matter.
We can trust Obama to take a fresh approach to America’s failed trade policy. Like us, he does not believe our current one-sided trade agreements are working to our nation’s benefit. He’s pledged to renegotiate NAFTA to make it fair for American workers.
Like us, Obama opposes the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement that would lead to more job loss, a deal President Bush has been pushing and McCain supports.
We can trust Obama to make good on his promise to end tax breaks for companies that move jobs overseas and when he says he’ll give tax incentives to companies that invest in U.S. production and jobs. There’s already evidence of that in his early support of the federal loan program we sought for the automakers to build advanced technology vehicles and their key components here in the United States.
We can trust Obama because we’ve seen his record when it comes to workers’ rights and unions. Obama is a co-sponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), a vital reform which will limit employer intimidation during union organizing drives.
Awesome!

Thanks!
