I'm talking about public pensioners (FED, State, Local), who retire early @ 60-100% salary - bankrupting cities while living off the backs of the tax-payer.
The elderly in the government want to be carried out on stretchers because they have CAKE JOBS. Of course they want to stay. They arent that 70 year old woman at the grocery store that my buddy almost walked into because she was on her hands and knees scrubbing the bottom display shelves. She said, "I just don't want to get kicked." And shes not getting paid well. But I am sure those congressional cake eaters don't have a problem with others working in those conditions until they're in their 90s
@dizzymasekela Sure they will. Just talk 5 minutes to any conservative/libertarian, Ayn Rand, free markets will solve everything, individuals. There's plenty of jobs. People who aren't working are just too lazy to get a job you know?
You're right of course, but seriously, talk to them. They'll claim they don't believe that there's infinite jobs, but that's the only possible way their theory of "unemployed = lazy" works.

We need to have Cenk, Alyona, Sam, Thom Hartmann and David Pakman do a segment together.
That would be *awesome*

Yes. At present it is more like a class mugging than a class war.

People are already loathe to hire fifty-year-olds. Nobody's going to hire seventy and eighty-year-olds.
