Nice auto plant you got here, Volkswagen. Shame if anyone were to unionize it. Incredible though it may seem, that's the gist of this report from the front lines of the War Against Workers. In short, it looks like Tennessee offered Volkswagen a $300 million incentive to expand its factory in Chattanooga -- but the money came with a catch. In the government's own words:
The recovery will really pick up steam here when the US becomes the cheap labor market for China and India. If the upcoming election turns the Senate R then this could come about really soon. It's a key part of their economic program.
In two years: Chinese and Indian companies break ground on new factories here. In four years: Vietnam and Bangladesh follow suit.
"Bribe" is such an ugly word. I prefer "financial inducement to align one's interests with mine". - Governor Haslam
Dear European Auto Makers, Steer clear of the southern states. We’re still not sure what causes them to act like inbreed slack jaw yokels but we don’t think this is going to change in the near future and if it turns out the water is the problem you wouldn’t to be drinking that shit anyway. MG
We are all socialists now.

I wouldn&#039;t pick that Scaab if I were you.

Gosh, unions must be really really harmful to the people of Tennessee.
No, wait, I meant to say &quot;true constituents&quot;.
Well, no one could have foreseen that VW values workers more highly than the Tennessee GOP does.
Bob&#039;s interns are really wishing he&#039;d put a cork in it.
Republicans are bad for the rest of us.
All right, as long as you&#039;re up, I&#039;ll have a sammich. Thanks.
Yes, it was.

&#039;Union&#039; has been a bad word in Tennessee since the civil war.
Governor Haslam is doing everything to see that the VW Scab rolls off a Tennessee assembly line.
