>>I didn't think you could defend a starting wage for an unskilled UAW employee that is higher than that of someone with a Masters Degree teaching college courses. I was right.

Well in fairness I can defend that. No offense to Katie, but I personally am willing to pay more for a car than I am for a chemistry lesson. (although other people do pay more for chemistry lessons) Therefore the guy who makes the car should get more money than the person teaching the chemistry lesson.

See that wasn't hard.
