Ralph Nader and Professor Harley Shaiken Discuss the Bankruptcy and Future of General Motors 3 of 3
Auto giant General Motors filed for Chapter 11 yesterday in one of the largest bankruptcy cases in US history. Shortly after the filing, GM said it would close fourteen more plants, including seven in Michigan, and cut up to 21,000 more jobs. More than 2,000 car dealerships will be shut down, as well. After the factory closings, GM will have fewer than 40,000 workers buildings cars in the United States, one-tenth of a workforce that numbered nearly 400,000 in the 1970s. [includes rush transcript]

All the poor know they are being robbed by the rich. They just dont see huge mile stones in their face like the GM collapse very often.

How will Americans pay to
..and want bread, … ..and want bread, fast food, entertainment, to amuse themselves with beer football and a sex partner, and don't really care about liberty, because they cant see beyond the length of their tongue (beer), remote control (entertainment) and their source of regular vitamin P (pussy) or C (cock).
Liberty?
The plebs don't care for liberty, they care for food and entertainment.
Liberty only comes about on those rare occasions when good men and women deem it worth the trouble to take power.
Nothing surprises … Nothing surprises the student of history.
How many Chinese emperors became puppets to the real powers behind the throne. The difference then was even usurpers had to lead personally their armies into battle.
Obama isnt even a natural born American, he was born in Kenya.
This is simply a war waged by the rich upon the poor, the wealthy against the plebs. It is the same war that has been going on for thousands of years, and the rich are winning this round because the people are sheep and want
