" Address my other point Emil. Barrak Hussein Obama wants to raise the corporate tax..therby sending MORE jobs overseas..further decimating the economy...come on Emil...talk to us about that. Tell us about how the chosen one is going to fix America..Tell us about how government knows best how to run a business..COME ON..I want to hear why I should vote for further tax increases to fatten up an already completely bloated federal(and state) government..you Obamans talk a big talk about all these beautiful pie in the sky programs you're going to fund...it's almost as if you have to bribe your voters with something to get them to vote for your sub-par candidates. Free health care for everyone, Raise the minimum wage, et al/ Meanwhile you dolts COMPLETELY ignore the common principles of macro economics...FOOLS, every last one of you who believes in this "tax the(insert demonized enitity)" philosophy.

" So workers enjoy a weekly income of $1,120, minus FICA of $672, minus state tax of $134, minus federal tax of $312 for a net pay check of $2.00
But hey, milk will only go up 4 times to meet costs, which places the price around $12 a gallon. BUT HEY GUYS!!!! WE GOT FREE HEALTHCARE! AND we got just what we deserve when we let the politicians who want to RAISE taxes get away with accounting and economic plans just as ridiculous as this one. "

" No emil!!! You've converted me! I say tax the living excrement out of business! If Osama Bin Bama's plan is a 15% hike, then clearly a 60% hike in taxes would be 4 times better for America. Right? This would put business in a position to hire more people, because jobs create profits, and this in turn would bolster the Democrat's bid to eliminate the "haves" (those filthy rich) and expand the nations work force. Then we could raise the minimum wage to $28/hr because if $7 is good, $28 is 4 times better. Right? Then there would be NO poor people and Bin Bama can raise FICA from 15% to 60% to fund healthcare. Emil, you're a genius!! By God! You have a plan to make America 4 times better. "

" Emil, I'll bite on your tax question. Raising the corporate tax( ala Barak Hussein Obama) would decimate our economy. The United States ALREADY HAS the HIGHEST corporate tax rate in the world. I FAIL to see how further taxing corporations( the job providers) would improve anything. Regarding personal income taxes? ONE SOLUTION..FAIRTAX.ORG. "

And Walz is going to keep those jobs here by taxing the hell out of them. "

" Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Laborers should be treated fairly.
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.

" Is this flowery article written to make me feel sympathy for the workers? That's not likely to happen. They just learned a basic lesson in capitalism 101: corporations exist to make money, and nothing more. If cheaper labor exists elsewhere and can increase profits, then that route will be taken every time.
This story just underscores another life lesson I learned early on: these situations can be avoided entirely by getting a higher education and learning career skills beyond assembly line work, where one can be replaced by a machine or an unskilled foreign citizen for pennies on the US dollar. "

" See how far your setting world records on the lines at TRW got you. You lost your job a little bit faster. Its sad that people are being laid off but I think it is time everyone realizes they are just a number there. Time for some of the higher paying people to get cut to, instead of creating new jobs for them. "

" Walz is nervous alright, but its because he won't act as a representative his district. He acts as a minion of Pelosi, Ropes and Pelowski all know we are on to them. The Republicans got elected and attempted to "borrow and spend" like drunken sailors. We threw them out. Now the Democrats thwart our will by not using our abundant natural resources because they are owned by the whacko environmental lobby. They are the same dog with differnt fleas, taking a "tax and spend approach to everything. They too will be swept away. We are tired of having our incomes confiscated, inflicted with guilt trips, told to be "tolerant" while every form of debauchery goes on and having our constitution shredded. We need to keep throwing the incumbents out until we get people who represent us; not special interests. "

" Oh, and before you jump down my throat about "responsibility to the workers", I'm just stating a FACT. It would be nice if a company could exist for workers, but they don't! They exist as investment tools for investors who want to wring out as much profit from a dollar as they can. Once again, another fact of life. If you have mutual funds or TRW stock, express your dissatisfaction with corporate profits by pulling your money out and put it in a passbook savings account. It's really that simple. You may not like it, but it is what it is. "

" Hmm? NAFTA, is a Clinton legacy as I recall. Ropes? She just proved she isn't fit to represent us with her statement, because it eloquently demonstrates ignorance of "to whom" business has a responsibility, that being the share holders. NOW for concerned Mr. Walz!! He is the moron who wants to raise the taxes on TRW, and other businesses which provide jobs, ensuring they will transfer operations to a "better" business climate. One can only assume this is Walz's plan to deal with illegal immigration by creating so many new and good jobs in Mexico, the good citizens of Mexico won't have to come here for work. Democrats have been running the show for two years now. Where's the beef? "

" "...slumping sales to American automakers..." A few years ago, when Congress was considering raising the gas milage standards (defeated), TRW's management urged employees to ask their representatives not to do that. Sample letters provided, protect our right to drive huge SUVs, pickups, yada yada. Don't know how many workers followed that advice, but today, there's never been a better time to get a good deal on a big, Ram Tuff, Hemi powered truck. "
