[QUOTE]Originally posted by R1 Man: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by CashCowMoo: [qb] All I know is im going to be having an election night party! The last one I went to was for Bush Jr on his first term. [/qb][/QUOTE]I bet that party was for idiots only. Seriously...who would want to party over some jack ass winning an election. They don't give a crap about anyone but themselves. Its a ego thing. Who seriously would spend millions of $$$ for a job that pays $174,000 a year (here is the link http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/congresspay.htm ) Going back to the earlier posts about unions: I work at Chrysler in a Assembly Plant. We have roughly 2,175 workers. We make $28 a hour. We build roughly 1,000 trucks a day. So lets do the math. 2175 x 28 = $60,900 cost in pay per day. We divide that by # of trucks built, 1000. 60900 / 1000 = $609 labor cost per truck. Do you seriously think this amount is going to break their wallet or stop a buyer from buying a vehicle? So new truck costs $54,000 LOADED...lets deduct $609 and say labor was free. $53,391 final cost...WOW...great deal...I'll buy one. NOT!!! Labor cost does not dictate the auto market and cost per vehicle. The CEO's do. Speaking of Labor...Us BIG 3 Auto workers are UAW. The UAW owns majority of Chrysler, Ford and GM. Do we get profit bonuses or bonuses period? Do we make changes in what we sell or make? Do we dictate how much everyone should be paid? We do own majority of the company...so do we??? NOT A CHANCE!!! Elections...UAW endorses a candidate and encourages employees to vote for those candidates. They pass out fliers stating why vote for them. They have them hanging in plants, passed out in plants and mailed to our homes. I have in the past been told to vote for someone by the Union President of my plant and union officials. But those days are gone in my plant. FOX NEWS...yeah they were comedians in regards to Jefferson North Assembly Plant's infamous drinker/pot smokers. So what happened....12 employees got fired. 2 suspended for a month. FOX2 does not care about the families of those caught on film. The ones with kids I'm sure got teased and made fun of at school because their daddy got fired....etc. So FOX hurt them. We are already living check to check...month to month. So 12 employees fired. Brilliant!! That means 12 new FORECLOSURES!!! Great Job Fox2. I love my home's value going down. Did those employees get replaced? Maybe...but if they did...they were replaced with employees starting at $14 per hour. So 12 employees at half off is like paying 6 employees but having 12...but now the 12 new ones can't afford much and barely contribute much to the economy....while the 12 fired collect unemployment. Obama and the Dems might of saved America and my job but...they still screwed the working with lots of BS!!! Too bad we can't be illegal immigrants...get free money from the working class...free healthcare paid by the working class...and all the other BS. Then banks, FRE/FNM/AIG getting bailed out and giving out bonuses...but not one bank or home loans company will refinance a home unless you have equity. Does this make sense...Say I owe $150,000 at 7%. The company that loaned the money is selling the same loan terms at 4%. They already have the contract with you but state they can not refinance you because of risk reasons because unfortunately your 150,000 house was falsely inflated by the same crooks who screwed all of us and the house is worth $75,000 now. But they are quick to foreclose and happy to sell the house for $30,000. Makes perfect sense. 3% is worth more then $120,000. Glad they got things right. BTW...this is not my situation...just generally what I see going on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
