[edit: see response to this post, auto worker gets $73/hour.] The bailout: tax person A in order to help person B, with 3 large corporations taking a cut of the proceeds. Does this make any sense?

What about the endless managers that leave the office and go golfing on company time that are educated? Or the endless lunches that they never return from that the company has to pay for?

When will the educated people quite ripping off the corporation's so that the people that can't get an education can make a decent living and survive in America and enjoy the American dream!!

Quit pointing the fingers and start seeing what every manager and salary person is doing with the company money. Maybe its time to start working different in America, start working for the right reasons.
