How many private sector job holders here on Piggington receive a pension? I have been in the engineering field over 25 years now. Can you show me examples of telecom companies with pension plans for regular salaried engineers? You make it sound like it is a regular thing so I am curious to hear about all these companies.
It is odd to me that you are so far off the mark here. You are making an implication that once upon a time there was a utopia that existed and somehow it was all taken away because of Wall Street. I am not denying wrongdoing buy Wall Street.
So tell me…. when did your utopia exist? When did the state provide all these services, pensions, free higher education for people who were not citizens, welfare and social services, and all of this was 100% supplied by taxpayers.
When was this again?
Nobody needs to be punished. However why can’t we all be on the same playing field? Why can’t all workers public or private simply donate to a 401k?
