I think you fellas might be getting off my target of this post. Yes, I was referring to individuals to,....but I was more gearing it towards Corp America.

Such as Ceo's making millions while the company goes bankrupt. Could he or her survive on half what they make and the company prosper?? Answer as you say Geo.. HELL YES!

Do the Unions and their work force have to make salaries and benefit packages that equal an average of 78 dollars an hour across the board?? Answer as you say Geo HELL NO!

Should a car or truck ever cost 40 to 50 thousand dollars even if it did your laundry, cooked your meals and cleaned itself?? Answer as you say Geo HELL NO!

Guys look at what things cost and look at those same companies and ask yourself this one simple question. Did mismanagement from overspending and exsuberant salaries and decadent spending cause some of their demise and ultimately cause their bankrupcy? Answer......HELL YES!

Everybody wants to be compensated well George including me, but at what cost.
If your boss came to you tomorrow and said concessions had to be made in order for the company to survive what stance what you take?

Would it be .....I want my money and I don't care if this place goes belly up.
Or would it be I need a job and want to help make this company have the best oppurtunity to get back on it's feet.
I don't know what camp you would be in only you would know that but if you picked the first one you are part of the problem not the solution to the plights America is facing today.
