Auto workers do not make significantly more than the average tax payer. Also, keep in mind that while working in an auto factory, if your co-worker screws up, you could lose a limb or your life. The biggest physical risk a lot of other people have in their job is stapling their finger while at the desk.

Overall, though, I agree with your sentiment, especially regarding public transportation and gas prices. I have no idea why it's so hard for people to use their brains, like most of the rest of the world, and realize that it's good to have a strong mass transit infrastructure.
