Irony of a free market in the US.



"FREE MARKET FREE MARKET! My theory of ZERO regulation works because... wild wild west politics!"

"China wants to buy our historic pride car companies? #### THAT SH*T!"

No the unions and the union members F all of us.

The workers are sooooo over paid for what any other worker with the same skill sets are in any other industry. And the workers golden parachute puts a lot of these executive parachutes to shame.

At least there aren't many executives with golden parachutes but there are tens of thousands of retired union members.

While the U.S. is trillions of dollars in debt, the Chinese have trillions of $ in surplus. Thank you, the Bush administration, for the last 8 years!

I dont really understand this with all the reports of thousands and thousands of workers being laid off, doesnt a union protect against this very thing? I dont see any high paid CEOs sweating.
