Yeah - those greedy bolt turners should be content to work 12 hours a day and live under an overpass - no vacation, no health care, no retirement. After all, if they had any gumption they would see that they got the education and training after work that they need to become CEOs, CFOs, doctors, lawyers and engineers.
Certainly if they were willing to forgo that bottle of beer after work, they would be able to buy a house and pay for their own health care.
Are you trying to tell me that a person working a manual labor job is worth the same amount of compensation as an individual with a coupla masters degrees, leading a multi million (or billion) dollar, publically owned corporation? If that were the case, then the person with a high school diploma (or less) should be able to walk right off the line and into the board room. Man, you just gotta wake up here. If you believe this is the case, then the employees at chrysler should just buy out the company, it is for sale. Then the people on the plant floor can just run the company, design the products, plan and lay out the assembly floor, and save a bunch of money. After all, the greedy executives are just drawing high wages. they never actually earn their money, or answer to anyone, right? If you want to earn more cash, GET A DEGREE........
