Crybaby

"This is a war on the middle class", an American Axle worker said, "People are losing their homes, while the banks and the rich are getting more profits. They preach they are creating more jobs—but what kind of pay are these jobs?"

The jobs that the striking American Axle worker referred to pay $14 an hour, down from the $28 an hour that the American Axle parts workers had been formerly paid. As peoples' mortgages, car payments, kids' college tuition and health care went down the drain when the strike was lost, American Axle CEO Richard Dauch was rewarded with an 8.5 million dollar bonus for his brave service in the battle against the American middle class.

If the American Axle Board of Directors had been authorized to give out medals, I'm sure he would have received the Medal of Honor, The Victoria Cross, Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur and many more. American Axle has gone international you see and as another American Axle worker said,"It is part of a global conspiracy to cut wages worldwide that seeks to use workers all over the world as cheap labor."

But it's not only a war on the middle class, it's also a war on the poor. Apparently knocking wages down to near-poverty levels is not satisfactory. Driving then down to slave labor levels may be the ultimate goal. Just ask the people who put food on our tables.
