[quote:Anonymous Coward 9411983:MV8xNzY0Mzk0XzI5MjcyNDgxXzg4RjkyQTQ0] Gemans also pay $47 dollars for a plain white t-shirt and 8 bucks a gallon of gas. Besides that they make precision instruments. Not ugly pieces of junk that break down a month after you buy it. [/quote]

Putting the lie to the overpaid auto worker bullshit line the supposed conservatives love to spew. You know, the kind of ashole who won't be satisfied until everybody is making 13 cents an hour just like they do in China.

The fact of the matter is, there used to be 30 or 40 thousand people working in an assembly plant. In the age of automation, they now do he same job with 5 thousand. That means every auto worker can be paid like 6 or 8 men and the company still makes money.
And why should they be paid like 6 or 8 men you ask? You can bet that if General Motors had robots that could do their jobs, there would be nobody working in those plants. The fact that those workers can't be replaced, makes their labor valuable.
