"He is robbing the true hard working Americans. Traitor. GM should have been left to die"

I can't believe you think one mans $5million salary is robbing hard working americans, yet letting GM die and letting hundreds thousands if not millions of both union and non union americans is totally acceptable. Oh wait, sportsbike? haha ya nevermind I can believe the twist master is capable of thinking that.

GM will soon be extinct. So it wont matter in about 10 years. At that time they'll be asking for more Tax Payer Dollars.

You tickle me! You are anti-union! Doesn't that by default make you anti-regulation and pro-capitalism in all its glory?! You should be happy about this! It's YOUR system working!

VW's CEO received 12 million last year. Which would be 9 million in 9 months, more than GM CEO's 5 million. Yet 009 didn't find that to be "WOW" or unusual in the least....LOL, biased hypocrite!
