Obama busses in protesters to Wisconsin

Quote from DHOHHI:

Actually throughout the country there are those who can retire in their 40's that are part of unions. Think about that -- with life expectancy longer than ever people retiring in mid 40's could receive pensions and benefits for another 40 to 50 years. In other words they can work 25 (or more) years and get these generous packages. Then I see some of them coming back and double dipping -- getting hired back into whatever profession they were in as "consultants" or whatever. Meanwhile we have massive unemployment where recent college grads are displaced by these early retirees who want to get a 2nd income stream going.

its nothing new. i have an uncle who retired from the navy with benefits at age 40. he has been double dipping for 30 years.
 
I would love it if Trumka had the balls to build business and meet a payroll. He's been leeching off the mindless tit of union thuggery all his life. There was a time when unions were needed... now, they're just a front to pad his fat ass.. the gig is up.

Bush caused this mess. It didn't happen over-night. You understand the whole system is fucked right?

I also believe the whole system -- or should it be "hole" system -- is fucked. But I see Bush, Obama, or whoever, as only affecting the rate at which the country goes down the drain, while in meantime it is circling the drain in a vortex caused by a 200+ year-old, obsolete Constitution, and rampant corruption. We should burn that constitution and start over.

Happy President's Day, everyone!

So... you agree with piezoe that we should "burn the Constitution". That clarifies it for me... nothing you have to say in the future will be of interest. ON IGNORE!
 
Burn the Constitution?!?! What?!??!?!??

How about the government actually uphold the Constitution? How about the people of the US demand that our Country get back to what our Founding Fathers started? Burn the Constitution? Insanity!

We don't need a "new wheel," nor do we need to re-invent one. All we need to do is balance the damn thing, and keep it balanced!
 
Quote from taclander:

. Alot of people can retire at 56 years old with full pension and health benefits. Let alone quite a few pay nothing or next to nothing for their benefits or pensions while they are employed.

I know. We see it everyday. Highly paid executives being paid golden parachutes to retire after raping the company and stckholders. What a shame. But this America.
