>The intelligent class of people create the business/work. The labor class only provides the means to get the work done. To even think that they deserve more than the people who are responsible for creating work for them is utterly delusional.
  
>Education is an asset and most certainly will get you more out of life. The great minds, those who can do the math and science, aren't just a matter of going to school.
 
Hello....I said Intelligent class of people. Education does not always translate to intelligence, but then there is no other standard for anybody to measure up somebody else. The best businessmen are not a result of a Harvard MBA. They can only be CEO, COO.....etc. Most great businesses are founded by intelligent people who would rather start working on their business than "waste" time getting a diploma or a degree.

>While most of the rank and file may make $100,000 (or close to) a year if they opt to work overtime. This is another misconception, its got to be from the mouth of a idiot. Please tell me where you heard that?
 
From here only. I do not know any UAW person on my own.
 
That said, I am not against the UAW guy making good money. One should get paid what the market can bear. To demand a pay that goes against market sense, is nonsensical.

Hey, if you enjoy Detroit, I hope you stay there, enjoy it, and live to be 100...
 
You and rocky WILL be the only two people left, so why not cut the cost of your telephone and simply share a party line???...

A lot of Americans feel the same way about the greed of the UAW.

Isn't that a scene from "8-Mile" with Eminem?

Didn't see it so don't know. The pic is from a site called Downtown Ruins.

I found all those pictures somewhat depressing. You would think the people of Detroit would have a bit more pride in their city. Allowing all those beautiful buildings to fall into disrepair is a real picture of the UAW and their deterioration over the last 40 years. A once proud work force now just a bunch of bums looking for a handout from the rest of the country.

I was just looking at pictures of the Masonic Temple Theater that seats 4300. That is pretty nice also. Are the 3 you pictured all still in use, or are they part of the urban decay?
