Well said yourself, Daniel(hill8586). ONCE AGAIN, there is pleanty of blame on BOTH SIDES of this issue to go around.
When the instances and practices of CEOs of large corporations who are insulated and as you stated, "have no sense of ownership" and the consesequences of steering their respective companys into bankruptcy ceases to be a multi-million dollar "golden parachute" and a warm shakeshake upon their departure(many instances abound, people), well, THEN I'll stop worrying so much about the general plight of the average workers out there and his small little pension plan that's going the way of the dodo as we speak.
On the flip-side, YES there are a few lazy "no account" union workers out there, who should have never been hired by MANAGEMENT in the first place(what are you guys CLUELESS or somethin'?...I can spot one of 'em a freakin' mile away...NOBODY interviews THAT good without giving themselves away, you idiots), BUT for every one of THOSE union idiots there are a SCORE of hard working GOOD employees.
I think what americans sometime forget is that that are entirely too many people in all facets of enterprise in this country who's sense of ambition far exceed their intelligence.
(but enough about our current Administration)
