"I don't have that jealous gene that seems to run through your veins. I don't blame others for my own screw ups and expect unlce sam to take money out of someone's wallet and give it to me." Web have you ever read and comprehended anything I've posted. I made millions for the company I worked for for 37 years. I've told you that. When I signed on they promised me $50,000 a year retirement. It wasnt Mitt Romney but a greedy low life Republican SOB just like him stole my retirement and cut it to $15,000 a year.  The retiement plan and the company had billions. The retirement plan was paying for itself off of interest. All I'm getting from the gov. is SS that I paid into over 40 years and I dont expect anything else! I dam sure aint jealous, I wouldnt trade places with that lying piece of sh!t Romney if I could.  All I want is what the theiving Republican bastards promised me. The only mistake I made was voting Republican over half my life.

Okay, I’m calling BS on this.

Explain to me how you ‘made millions’ for your company.
Explain to me what evidence you have that makes Mitt Romney a greedy low life SOB who steals money
Explain to me how your retirement plan was paying for itself off interest.
Explain to me specifically how your company had ‘billions’ but your promised payout was reduced.

I knew of a "bum" in Toronto in the early '70's that made $10-$15 an hour panhandling. He had a decent apartment and a car.

I directly produced a product that broght in over $200, 000 weekly

Something doesn't smell right. What do you mean directly produced a product?  $200,000 in profit per week? that's 10,400,000 in profit per year.

You're figures are exactly right, the SOB's owe me a decent retirement.

Midnight - you should get what you're told you would ... but, I wont call your work really inventive - important yes but if you walk out, would have have been able to replace you ? OK how about find a close enough candidate and train ? If no, as in years before someone caught up to your expertise - That would be where I would say I did so and so for my employer.

BTW I know of someone else @ AT&T in WS/G'boro who lost like 60-70g out of their 100K retirement when the market crashed. The guy now is a regular flea market and ebay seller and his wife works into his 60's.

I have worked for banks most of my life, and I will not ever save in a 401k, I know it will be raided by the company that administers it. I keep checkign, I keep savings (small amounts to just get by in both) and the rest is spent on things I like and I may sell later like old audio, or things I will use to learn and sell parts and expertise on later like audio, or bike parts or bike repair.

I will not trust a bank with a penny more than I have to, I trust banks and corporations even less than I trust the govt, and I would rather support the corner panhandling crack addict than the fat cat banker. If someone told me that me and my dependents and loved ones and every one I know and like are going to heaven (or hell) tomorow guarantees, I dont need $ or belongings I will actually distribute it all to the homeless, refi my house take that cash and leave it on my driveway for anyone to get ... max out my credit cards and distrubute the proceeds free to everyone I see ... and leave the banks with a huge red number.

Another thing - Charities - do not ever give cash to a charity. They pay their executives several millions ... then they do charity with the left overs, and the actual volunteers get nothing, not even parking $.
Give them food, preferably in cans but generally no $.
I have dropped off huge quantities of food @ the local soup kitchen, several 100 lb worth. Never cash to a charity. Charities are just about the most top heavy organisation you can think of. 85% of their intake is spent ...you guessed it, on themselves.

I'll take the govt over a charity anyday.
I'll take the govt over a corporation any day.

Cool.

  My family all knew the meaning of a hard days work, my Uncle was at Ludlow Colorado when the massacre took place. I can remember my father telling me "When you cross a picketline, you not only screw the guy on that line, but you screw yourself."..

  As you see the working slobs are being separated by the 1%, we are being told "You to can become a millionaire, all you have to do is kiss my rearend." .. And many have bent over to begin the task...

  I got lucky, I stuck to a good job, invested, and paid everything off, all the while many of my co-workers were buying new cars, taking expensive vacations, and purchasing expensive homes. It was not easy, and I worked an average of 120 hours every two weeks, along with on-call 24/7/365..

   So when I vote for a President, do I vote for a guy with a silver spoon in his mouth, who has never worried about a dollar? Or do I vote for the guy who has come from my neck of the woods? Pretty simple decision, and it has nothing to do with class warfare...

   Class warfare is a word that never even crosses my mind, if it did, I would say that "Yea, THEY won!" .. Amazing how many people will vote against their own best interests...
