Republican Hypocrites

Listening to the news last night, I heard that several Republican senators were planning on killing the bailout to the automotive industry unless the union (United Auto Workers) agreed to cuts in their salaries and benefits.

The question that should be asked by everyone is this: Why should the auto workers have to accept cuts in their salaries when the people on Wall Street were not required to as well?

Wall Street and most of our largest financial institutions are to blame for the meltdown in our economy. Yet few have called for any of the people involved to be fired, let alone receive any kind of reduction in their earnings.

Once again, this is a prime example of Republicans (and some Democrats) wanting to punish the people who work the hardest and produce products in this country and reward those who sit on their lazy asses all day and rake in more and more money.
