Everybody here has a valid argument, but I think many are missing the real issue here. This is what happens when Capitalism rules unchecked. We built this nation on the belief that everyone has an opportunity to make as much money and own as much property as they would like. Then when some people found a way to do just that, we failed to realize that eventually it would create a concentration of wealth and power that would push the middle and lower classes further into their ranks, while boosting those in the 1%. We all love the system when it works for us and hate it when it doesn't. That's the nature of the beast. If you want to punish GM and every other billion and now trillion dollar company (thanks Amazon and Apple) then vote. Elect officials who won't be beholden to big business. Vote for reps who will change the laws and keep these outrageously rich executives in check. The unions aren't to blame for asking for fair wages. If anyone did a little bit of research into economic conditions in this country you would realize that the cost of living has FAR out-paced the increase in wages over the past SEVERAL decades. Just like the $15 dollar minimum wage debate....in truth, if people were treated as equally as their corporate counter parts (remember a corporation is a person in the eyes of the law) then $15 would be a reasonable wage that we would have worked up to over the past 50 years. It only seems outrageous because it's a demand of a 100% increase suddenly. Im not in favor of the moves, but I understand the rationale. As someone else stated earlier, what would you do if you were the owner? I'm just happy to see the amazing cars being churned out by these companies for the true enthusiasts. The rest is just par for the course.
