I agree with the pay cuts etc. And you all know I'm not afraid or smart enough to shut up. So here goes my train of thought.
We all know that the good jobs in factories where the workers get high dollars instead of min wage are few. But we all know a few, and they will tell you how much they pay in taxes. Now for a red neck like me, that tax they pay is more than my take home. So here is how I come to ask this question?
With all those workers out of jobs, they pay no taxes into our government fund. So each week they are working, where does the scale balance with the government bail out?
I have two sons who work in two different companies that make parts for the big three. Oldest son, the factory is shutting down for two weeks. The other son is probably getting the axe because of seniority, and lay offs. Again, they will not be paying into the tax fund.
Our biggest employer in my small home town is shutting down for a unknown time. They also make alot of auto parts. Our government needs these taxes, or they will raise the taxes on the rest of us.
Our local paper last year at this time was four pages of help wanted, this week ---5, ...That is five help wanted, not five pages.
Sooooo, I say bail them out ? ...well I guess I just don't know???? But by darn if we do, there are so many conditions. Different CEO's are a must!!! AND if we bail them out....NOT A FLIPPIN THIN DIME goes to a CEO as the door smackes him in the A$$.
Mater of fact their last five years pays, bonuses, and golden parachutes are TAKEN BACK.
And only now my friends we are then thinking about helping the company out.

In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
