12/10/08: My war against those with evil fingers.

Current mood: angsty

Over the past month and a half, I've been trying to attack the ignorant masses that seem to dominate Peoria newspapers' opinion pages. Check out the You Page section at pjstar.com to see what I'm talking about. The following blog is one my efforts to add some sense to my hometown puppy trainer.

UAW and the Auto Bail Out

UAW members in Detroit deserve to make $75 per hour. They also said they would do away with the job bank to keep the automakers afloat. Living in Detroit cost a lot more than it does to live in Peoria, let alone surviving. The city has been nicknamed the Murder City. Protecting yourself will add to the COLA. With this being said, we should demand that wages be increased in East St. Louis. Either that

or fine up standing tax payers pay for their Kevlar accessories.

Also, one must understand how they got to earn 10 times the minimum wage. Their negotiators were able to convince the big three that they deserved it. Instead, they are being treated like juiced up sluggers instead of people whose livelihoods are on the line.

Those who are bitter at the UAW in Detroit seem to be looking for an easy way to feel better about themselves and their "honest" wage instead of trying to figure out how to make the same money on their own.
