(4,033 posts)Don't y'all know that this is all the fault of the greedy unions who force corporations to accept contracts that allow union members to sit around all day drinking coffee and playing cards? Union members are overpaid, lazy, good for nothings! Unions are what cause recessions and force corporations to outsource jobs to someplace where they can actually get an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Look at the number of CEO's taking just $1 a year and board members serving for no compensation at all trying to save corporations from rapacious greedy union bosses! It is unions that are destroying the country getting contracts that allow members to retire with full pay and benefits after only 20 years on the job, and guaranteeing them generous COLA's each year! Get rid of the unions, blow all those generous pension plans out of the water, and get America back on track to greatness.....
Oh wait. Sorry. Was at the doctor's office waiting to get some blood drawn and that had on FOX News.
I'll be OK in just a couple of minutes.
