>It's not a lie. The $75/hour figure includes wages and benefits, which is usually a 60/40 ratio.

It is. It includes all of the pension and health care costs for retirees, who obviously aren't working anymore.

>Using your figures, however, $56,160-66,560 a year is still a very well-paying job for a factory worker.

Yes. It allows someone who gives his entire life to work in a factory the ability to raise and feed a family, put his kids through college, and take a vacation on the shores of the Great Lakes once a year. The whole midwestern version of the American Dream thingie... You think those workers shouldn't be entitled to that?
