You are in the Automotive News & Views Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & claires
The political season ended last November and we're still in the honeymoon period. Let's quit rehashing the 60's, 70's.... Y'all are making me feel my age.

So if I buy a home for $100,000 and sell it for $200,000 in time. Then go to replace it and its selling for $200,000, I have gained nothing. |

Replying to: gagrice (Jan 02, 2009 1:01 pm) How can the UAW steal from their pension fund? GM holds and pays the UAW pensions. Looks to me like the township the course is in says it is worth more than what the UAW says its worth. And when it was taken to court the UAW value was taken. Today it is probably worth half what it was in '07 anyway.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 02, 2009 6:25 pm) When the UAW claims it as an asset in the Pension trust it has one value (Very High). When they get their tax bill they beat the value down to nothing for the township's tax base. The assessor is probably afraid to say much as they will send the guys with baseball bats around to see him. So how does this UAW resort for the fat cat leaders and UAW cronies benefit Michigan? The UAW members being sheep think the leaders have their best interest in mind. Very foolish thinking. |

ex: It was Tiger Stadium and the Pontiac Silverdome when I left in 1990...have the names changed???...when the Dome was built, Oakland County residents were "guaranteed" that they would never have to put a dime into the stadium...but, every year since it opened, Oakland County folks have had to contribute $800,000 a YEAR to keep it afloat...they shoulda let it die and bulldoze it, along with the Lions... steve: you mentioned about the UAW and the War of 1812...that happens to be accurate...Walter Reuther's great-great-great-great grandfather was upset at the treatment of the soldiers, and was going to organize a strike unless they received TWO bowls of rice daily, instead of just one bowl...oh, wait, that was the Chinese army, and I may have my geography slightly wrong...did the Chinese fight the British on American soil in 1812, or have I been staying up too late at night watching the marathon Twilight Zone episodes on SciFi network??? I sense my IQ waning rapidly.........................
