The Double Standard

Let me get this straight.

You work hard, you make cars for a company that just so happens to be run by morons, but work hard nonetheless, and have done so for a long time.

But your work isn't worth as much the bastard from citibank.

You have to sweat it out for a few more weeks. Hell your entire business may head into the sewer. Our economy may go with it.

Like it isn't there already BA.

While the employee from citibank makes a couple of calls on the weekend up in the Hamptons and his ass is secure in the knowledge that the Governement will be there to bail him out.

Why is that?

The color of their collar.

One is white. One is blue.

Is that right?

No.

Was AIG held up to any standard before they were given their bailout?

No?

Yet the Auto industry is being dragged over the coals.

Im not defending the auto industry, I think as it stands now the business models that they have need to be abolished. But, and this is a huge but, there are a hell of lot more people involved and effected on an everyday basis by the auto industry than there are by AIG. Yet AIG has been bailed out twice.

So the next time you complain about the auto companies, complain about all of the bailouts, remember, in the end we are on the hook for all of em in the end.
