>I've got a masters in engineering from an Ivy League university. Maybe I should be "entitled" to a lot more than $56K/year, given how much I worked to get there and how much I paid in tuition. >Alternatively, I could have just gone to the local state school, slack off, work in a factory, and get $56K/year and not have to worry about my retirement. >That's what the unions represent these days. Money for nothing. Fuck that. Since when is working in a factory "slacking off?" These towns base their entire existence on these factories. The people work hard, and are never going to strike it rich, but in exchange for giving their entire lives to their company, mostly doing manual labor, they expect not to lose their "little pink houses" for the last 10 or 20 years of their lives after they stop working. What do you think? These people live high on the hog? Unions are what created the middle class. Without the middle class, America as we know it doesn't exist. They've been told for generations that that's the American dream. It's all they know, and it's not their fault. If these factories close down, America has betrayed these people. -Z
