GM invests in Western New York

Are those 500 jobs counted as government jobs?

How is it helping the average american worker, who gets $15 to be taxed out the wazoo to support a small number of special privileged workers to get jobs that pay $60 per hour (with benefits)? A few lucky ones on the gravy train are doing very nice thank you, but the rest of us have to do with less so these other guys can get unreal wages making things one wants to buy at prices no one can afford.

Let's blame the workers...

My question remains, how do workers in general gain if most of them are taxed a bunch to hand money over to a few? Don't workers in general loose of the poor are taxed in order to benefit the wealthy?

The fact is that the workers are not "taxed a bunch"
This is not a case for turning one worker against another. With 90% of the wealth concentrated in 10% of the people, it is not time to turn workers against themselves. Higher pay is a good thing. More jobs is a good thing

First of all, no one's taxes have been increased. Obama and the Democrats gave everyone that makes under 250,000 a tax BREAK.

Classifying GM line workers as the 'wealthy' is the manifestation of your right wing indoctrination. LOOK at the wealth RE-distribution (graph) that the socialist Reagan started. It is not a coincidence that when Republicans started dismantling the New Deal and dismantling unions, the middle class began to sink.
