Aren't Most GM Employees Only Middle Class?

If so, why should we bail them out?

Confusedly yours,

1. Why should we bail out

Middle Class or Upper Class?

Confusedly yours,

U. N. Derclass.

2. And their supplier and...

Then you get into the service employees who wait on them when they go out to eat or clean the restrooms at the plant.

None of them worth saving to the current regime.

[whistle]

3. Yes 95% of auto workers earn under $250,000 annually

4. Are you attempting to draw a contrast with the wealthy financial workers we've been baiing out???

[MannyGoldstein]

5. Yes - Perhaps I'm Too Dry...

6. No, it's that the POV you attempt to parody is very much alive and well and DU.

Just posting from the center-right on DU is not sufficient to alert people that you are being ironic; there are dozens of posters who, without a hint of self-awareness, are demanding that "free market" principles be allowed to work in the case of GM et al.

I have yet to see any of them attempt to reconcile the disconnect between the no-strings-attached Wall Street bailout and the "restructuring" they demand at the the Big 3. Nor have I seen any of them attempt to reconcile the "unfairness" they percieve in a bailout of UAW workers with the lack of concern with fairness as to Wall Street workers and execs.

So, true dry? No. Indistinguishable from the genuinely held opinions of a large clutch of DU "New" Democrats...

7. Dear A, Republican

1.If the USA automotive industry disappears, the Republic party will never get another vote from Michigan,Indiana,Ohio,Pennsylvania again,so,your girl sarah palin will have a hard time winning the White House without them!
2.What's to stop the foreign car manufactures from moving to Canada because their government has universal health care?
3.GM is on the verge of making an electric vehicle, it will put USA in the for front of green technology.
4.The bail out money is only a couple of per cent of what wall street is getting, and there are three million jobs at stake and probably throwing the USA into a major depression!
5.If you throw three million people out of work,the government will lose them as tax payers and have to spend money on retraining and unemployment insurance,why not help them keep the jobs that they already have.
6.The Unions are already taking over the pensions and health benefits and making concessions.
7.I support the bail out because I love my country,and a strong manufacturing base is as important as a strong military!
8.Of course the government has to make sure the money isn't wasted on out dated technology!
9.Some things the car industry needs the government to do that they can't do for themselves,the car industry doesn't build highways, the government does that,so indirectly the government has always helped them!
10.republicans are for the republican party first and the USA second,if at all?
11.bu$h is trying to make the USA a third world counrty by destroying the union jobs!
