    But if we give you a pension, who will buy back all the stock?

    Who’s looking out for the billionaires?

    Won’t someone PLEASE think of the billionaires?

    It’s not an emotional issue, it’s a financial one. Yes, emotions are involved, but trying to paint the theft of thousands of pensions as an emotional issue is pandering to the criminal billionaires who will reap the financial rewards from stealing the worker’s retirement plans. The billionaires don’t even need the money, nor deserve it, yet the workers very much do. Stealing pension plans either corporate, private, or Social Security should be a crime punishable by a year in prison for however many years worth of retirement were stolen.
