GM should know that there are a lot of un-unionized plants from overseas automakers in the south. That would have been better for them than leaving the country.

the sad thing is, there shouldn't need to be any legislation/taxes or other sort of motivation, you'd think an american grown company would, thru basic sense of honor, duty, and Patriotism, WANT to give back to this great country and try and do it's part ot make it and it's citizens more successful. Shameful isn't strong enough a word imo.
At what point is earning more $$$, on top of already large sums of money, justification enough to sh!t all over everyone and everything? Unbridled capitalism is just another word for greed. Makes me sad sometimes to think that I sacrificed my health and a significant quality of life for this country and so many other "citizens" of this nation are so caught up in $$$ and selffishness they can't see beyond their own noses. |

Don't forget. This democratic country has a capitalistic economy. That means that a home grown company should do what it takes to make money. The other side to that is the the country shouldn't be bailing out companies because that stalls growth in the long run.
By bailing out GM we may have set back the evolution of the auto industry years or even generations by paying and awarding status quo.

I also think that our capitalist society is starting to show some serious cracks. We need something a bit better. |

I feel the need to elaborate a bit before someone gets out the pitchforks and starts accusing me of being a godless communist.
Communism doesn't work. People are inherently selfish and lazy. therefore eliminating the motiviation to improve one's productivity by severely limiting one's ability to acquire material wealth, possessions etc is bad. Socialism is severely flawed for much the same reasons as above. Unbridled Capitalism is also severely flawed, it assumes and requires the ability to sustain unlimited growth to be successful. the population is encouraged and really in our economic model, required to continually consume more and more products to keep the economy rolling. I find it funny that the stock market reacts negatively when reports come out saying that folks are being more responsible now and saving more. this planet also has a finite supply of resources which will/is starting to pose a problem as well. I'm not sure of the solution honestly, but some happy medium of capitalism with some socialism mixed in is probably the best working model. Ie, I think SS and medicare are good programs (just run very very poorly). Also, if you take unregulated capitalism (which is what we seem to be getting more and more of every year), to it's logical conclusion, you end up with an extremely wealthy elite, mega corporations, and a disenfranchised lower class with little chance of upward mobility and an all but extinct middle class. |
