Those who do can say bye bye, most dont have them anyway....

When you vote republican you vote for your own death...literally

We are in a race to the bottom, the divide and conquer worked...

Get small minded people to hate govt workers who have pensions, then take the pensions away and now nobody has anything.

Like Thom Hartmann says, within 2 yrs we will have a revolution, he says only political, I am not so sure it will be ONLY at the ballot box

The folks in Detroit say they don't want their pensions slashed....I don't blame them and I almost think it should be illegal to do so. However, the folks in Detroit don't want to sell any paintings either. You cannot get money from a turnip. I don't know what will be done but whatever happens, it will not be pretty. I feel for them big time.
