first of all the senario is unrealistic
no line worker is going to walk off the line to ask for a raise and expect to keep his job
52k a year for a janitor is rediculous no matter the cercumstance
unions cluter up production because it keeps companys from being flexable enough to survive
think about the money theyve cost the company the gov. is now trying to bail out because of their strikes just cause they felt like they wanted a raise
40-45k a year is just over the poverty line???? you must have a **** load of money!
learn how to live on 12 dollars an hr
if you work for a company and the company has to make an overhaul to survive and they need to make paycuts or downsize its up to you if you want to stay with the company or find a new job
and i owned my own business and sold it just this past feburary
if your smart with your business and dont waste your money on frivolous things your business will be prospurous
i owned a citgo station and i now work for 7-11 as a store operator making 45k a year
i never went to college and 7-11 doesnt sound much like an appealing place but it is actually a great place to work with excelent benifits
just becuase you dont go to college doesnt mean you cant do something with your life

my final opinions
unions should be disbanded
executives should take major cuts in salary
(including the head janitor makn 52k a year)
the republican tax ideal is great it just needs to be monitored and make sure its being applied correctly
the bailout is a bad idea and the money should be given to the people in trouble to pump back into the economy

Ive been thinking that myself for the longest time. Although its unrealistic and highly unlikely that the government would ever do such a thing, if they gave the money they spent bailing out the banks and now the auto industry to the PEOPLE of America versus the CEOs people would in turn use that money to pay off mortgages and perhaps buy new cars, etc. Like a reverse trickle down, if the people who have problems pay off their debts then the banks and economy would be able to steady itself.
