Hello mark!

So you are saying that Ford, Chrysler, GM with their unionized help can compete
with the non-union competition, such as but not limited to the Japanese and
Korean brands?

 ml> it is all about the benjamins... nothing more and nothing less...

Business has always been about making money.

Whats a fair wage?

I am told a wage that is twice or 2.5 times the existing minimum wage isnt
enough?

Labor costs is exactly why outsourcing occurs, do you want to make it worse?

They already are experimenting with self service checkout and ordering at fast
food restaurants. Many stores have adopted self serve checkouts, bye bye
cashiers.

 ml> i made the statement, somewhere, before, that the republicans were for
 ml> business and that the democratics are for the people...

Well ok, let them be for the people until they vanquish business, then where
will you be?

Didnt you start truck driving, who created the need for you to drive that
truck?

 ml>  that statement

 ml> republican so as to not "bite the hand that feeds them"... sadly, it
 ml> is all a total crock...

Blindly mandating wage levels to overcome a income level designation wont work
either.

You are better off investing in education.
