On the recordApril 5, 2006
About 6:30, 7:00 this morning my e-mail goes off. I pick it up. The third shift at a General Motors plant that I have in Lordstown, Ohio, the third shift is being eliminated, and 1,200 United Auto workers, nothing is official, but the third shift is being eliminated and 1,200 people will be out of work. Those are average people in the United States of America that are making $60,000 or $70,000 a year, paying taxes and trying to send their kids to school and we are giving a person who makes $10 million a year a $1 million tax cut. That makes no sense to anybody except the Republican majority.
