They picketed after hours to protest Verizon asking for way to many give backs…but we still went to work every day. I hate that the bulk of the kids out there thinks the world owes them a living. That people would rather sit on their fat asses collecting unemployment and welfare that I have to pay for than go get that job at McDonalds making $8 hr flipping burgers. The world needs ditch diggers too. Sorry that you can’t live on $25-30k…time to lower your standards and live within your means. Isn’t 8 dollars an hour only $16k a year. I think you would need government assistance to help you get by with that much. Also thats if the company paid you 40hrs which they won’t cuz then they would have to pay full-time with insurance blah blah blah. 16k a year plus well fare man the American dream is dead. On a side note the auto bailout was actually started by the republicans by a guy named GW Bush. > **[George W. Bush deserves credit for the auto bailout: George V.

Bush, there wouldn't be much of an industry to squabble over, writes former Ohio Sen. George V. Voinovich.
