The Chrysler Bilking.

Now that the United Autoworkers Union owns 55% of Chrysler:

1)    Have you noticed how much the UAW President, Ron Gettelfinger, resembles the millionaire on the                     Monopoly game?

 2)    Does this mean that the workers own the means of production?    Was there a revolution and no one told me?

3)    Will Chrysler try to break the union? Will the union go out              on strike? Can you collectively bargain with yourself? Can you        be your own scab?

 

Now that Fiat owns 35% of Chrysler:

 

4)    The future of the company supposedly rests on Italian technology. Most American's can't operate an espresso machine. Are we setting the bar too high?

 

5) Yes, most Americans can drive and many would love to drive a Ferrari, but, again, we're talking about people whose first choice is a Chrysler.

 

6) Ever see a Pirelli calendar? Ever forget it? How about a Chrysler calendar. We can get Miss California, uhh, never mind.

 

Can we pin the whole mess on Lee Iacocca? Should we try?

 

7)    He’s either the brilliant leader who took a government bailout for Chrysler in 1979 and paid it back ahead of schedule – or the guy who wheels his dead buddy into a store so he can cash the man’s welfare check.

 

8) Sure, he can take credit for the Ford Mustang, but did you ever see him drive a Ford Pinto?

 

9)    He saved Chrysler by introducing the innovative “K” line of cars, but, what would you give me for a 1981 Plymouth Reliant?
