But when you find someone working on the assembly line at General Motors is making more than a Detroit policeman, you see that support start to decline.

My dad was an assembly line worker at AC Spark Plug, which was a division of General Motors, and his job was to build and then inspect the little spark plugs as they came off the line.

My first job at General Motors was as a quality inspector on the assembly line. I was checking fits between hoods and fenders. I had a little scale and clipboard. At one point, I was probably examining 60 jobs an hour during an eight-hour shift. A job like that teaches you to value all the people who do a job like that.

There's only one movie theater in the entire city of Detroit. The entire city has one open movie theater, and it is in the - it is in the General Motors headquarters complex.

I'm a Detroit kid who grew up with that assembly line mentality: You go to work to make money.

With my luck, if I ever invested in General Motors, they'd bust it to Corporal!
