  Union Hacks need to go

  The UAW is crippling the domestic auto makers much like the corruption and "Pay to Play" tactics cripple our politics and economy.Hacks and cronies abound and the real fight is to clean this mess up.The UAW becomes part of the solution or part of the problem.Michigan,Illinois,Massachusetts,New Jersey,New York,California all ripe with mob connections and corruption through its governments.We have congressman stuffing cash in freezers,state legislators stuffing cash in bras.Does Massachusetts have more felon ex speaker of the houses than Illonois have felon governors?Who knows, but all of these eventually are connected to mob ties.The worst of it happens in liberal states where unions are strongest.For us to be competitive we need to eliminate those people and processes that do not directly add value to the product.It is that simple except for all the cronies in phoney positions and money and influence ,most collected from union dues,spent to buy politicians and influence to keep this "national"mob shakedown going.It's time to call it for what it is.The UAW walked away not the Republican Senators,and yes those "foriegn" car companies are building here,employing people here,creating jobs here for americans.The demand for cars will be the same the only differince is the piece of the pie the big three can slice for themselves which will be smaller and smaller until they can compete and produce a superior product. The biggest strain on that is Labor, the Union shaking them down and sucking out potential profits.You cronies didn't think this through when you wrote this article we americans are getting fed up with this elitist,socialist,mob connected crap you spew and try to spin.
