My point is, of course not everyone can have a car like this, or a 4000 sq. ft. house, or yearly vacations to wherever but if a company CEO can make 20 mil/yr why shouldn't the guy putting the parts on your camaro earn $50k/yr with good health insurance? Your arguement doesn't make sense.

Having worked for Sears as a Loss Prevention Manager for 5 years I'll let you in on a little secret about the auto techs. They are usually kids out of high school who have worked nothing but $8 dollar or below jobs all their lives. There is so much competition for these jobs that there are dozens of applications available to plug another warm body in place of some who is terminated. Your right you can't afford a family, car or house on that wage....but I damn well guarantee you the Auto Manager can and so can any other member of management at your local Sears store. What does it take to get these management jobs you ask? Hard work, experience, ect, ect, ect......maybe only 10% of people at any given Sears store will manage to get promoted because they're retail grunts with no drive. Retail doesn't need unions so I don't understand why the automotive sector does. Besides Sears is one of the few retail companies with a lot of people pulling pension and benefits....they are on the verge of going bankrupt because of it.
