Automaker Bailout Fails: This Is Not Good

Every car built by Detroit has a huge overhead of UAW retired worker benifits, pentions, medical and the like, along with far higher pay for union employees than most other tax payers who do equivalent work. This is all ok as long as we Americans vote with our spending dollars to still buy these cars built by people who make far more money and benifits than most all other American tax payers make for doing equivalent work. Now the UAW is saying to the American tax payers that they want American tax dollars from American tax payers, most who do not have big pentions and other gravy benifits and do not make the big bucks like the UAW workers make, to bail them out so they can maintain their big pentions and big bucks and other gravy benifits that are far greater than the rest of the American tax payers make. The Senate has said the hell with this idea. I say, good job US Senate. Before spending American tax dollars to maintain the UAW worker in the life style that they have become acustom too, use American tax payer dollars to give the American tax payer picking cabages a pention.

I do want the big three to stay in business, yes. However, if the UAW union demands that UAW workers maintain a far higher standard of living than other tax payers, tax payers who they want to bail them out, then shut the doors and close them down. Why should the poorer tax payers, which is the majority of tax payers doing equivalent work, pay for the wealthy, small minority of UAW tax payers, to insure that they have far more money, wealth and gravy benifits than the majority of tax payers, who they are asking to bail them out, have?

Thank you US Senate for putting the poorer than a UAW worker tax payer first. Good job Senate. If the UAW worker can maintain his higher than the rest of the US tax payer life style through capitalist free enterprise then great. The heck with the plan of using poorer than a UAW worker's American tax dollars to subsidise a UAW finacial life style that is far higher than the life style of the rest of the majority of US tax payers, those doing equvalent work, make.

Thanks!
