During one of the UAW strikes against General Motors in 1970, Richard C. Gerstenberg, the CEO of GM, asked the President of the UAW, W.P. Reuther what he wanted, since GM had previously capitulated on every single demand made during earlier strikes. Reuthers reply was one word, simple, and chilling. More, was all he said. Within two decades of that conversation, the car company that at the time held an eye popping 54% of the world market, would find itself closing nearly half of its plants, the subject of a Michael Moore hit piece, and constantly on the verge of insolvency, the last one by the way has not been made any better by a $50 Billion government bail out. Such is the nature of the left, and all would be well advised to heed these words. They, no matter what they claim, will always want more. They may couch it in terms of, just a little more, or, only their fair share, or even my personal favorite, just enough to fund this years brand spanking new entitlement dujour.
