There is nothing right or left wing about the demise of American auto industry, it was killed by a cabal of parasitic thieves and the governments they own with a huge boost from the unions themselves. Unions that decided it was better to shut up and sit down as their members were fleeced for decades. That selling out their membership for a big office and big salary was a better strategy than fighting for them with messy strikes and slowdowns, demanding that they get their share. And lastly, by the membership itself that fought tooth and nail to keep women and minorities out of their club and who voted over and over to bend over and take it in the vain hope that they would get theirs if only they just gave "their betters" even more.
The other one wouldn't answer this question; Why didn't the UAW buy GM when they had the chance? Will you?
