Here is the bottom line that I think Phenommmm (sp?) was trying to make:

This union - in the Hostess debate - DECLINED an 8% pay cut and 17% health insurance raise. Now, could some people not have survived this? I'm sure. I probably couldn't have been able to pay my bills and keep my house with that pay cut and would have lost my health insurance. BUT - THEY WERE JOBS! If they didn't want to do it - let someone ELSE come in and take them. 18000 OTHER people are willing to work for that money.

But no, All these people who could have been making a decent wage are now a tax burden to the rest of us.

So, while I outlined my own struggles with unemployment and poverty, I surely do resent those folks who deliberately and selfishly caused the collapse of Hostess.
