One of the commentators stated that "What the rule book doesn't allow is dirty plays (post facto breaking contracts)." Please note the federal governments treatment of GM's bond holders vs treatment of GM Unions. Bondholders rights were trampled in order to award unions their benefits. I think the Obama administration opened up one heck of a can of worms there, and so Unions have no right to claim foul in this regard in Wisconsin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The issue that you're missing MassJim in your convoluted reasoning is that the union had a signed contract with GM. The bond holders take a risk. If they didn't like the risk of the investment, they could have waited until GM offered the bonds until the return on the bonds was higher.

Investing, of any kind is a risk. If you don't like the risk, don't invest.

If they didn't like the union contract, GM shouldn't have signed it.

Everyone has a choice, they can either accept, or walk away from!

Isn't that supposed to be what Capitalism is all about?

Wow, just wow. Unable to comprehend that the bondholders ALSO had a contract. AND, that according to the law, their contract should take precedence. It wasn't a choice between someone who rolled the dice and someone with a contract enforceable under law, it was a choice between contracts and deciding, ex post facto, to ignore the law.

His reasoning and inability to comprehend the actual situation is breathtaking.

The way he uses commas makes me think of our very own second Amendment.

To point, this is just one more example of how rules apply only when they benefit leftists or their causes.

Ask him if he thinks the absentee state Senators are violating their contract with the electorate.

Wow, what a *expletive deleted*che'.

I knew that all of those business and business laws classes in college were total BS.

The video is gone, Sanglant. The WisconsinEye Network that owns it had it removed from YouTube, and they're not showing it on their own network.

Gee, I wonder which side they're on?

It's not hate speech unless you're an angry right winger with lots of high capacity evil untraceable guns.

[sanglant]
