Your wife worked and was paid for that work probably with benefits for 32 years and retired with a buy out package, and you think they are bums?
Your the bum. His wife got up most everymorning for 32 years. Spent at least 8 hours a day at a job she probably hated some of the time. She paid her dues. And she most likely raised a family during that time too. She didn’t sit on her butt for those years and draw welfare and Medicade. She deserves it.
My wife was not given a damned thing. She started as an assistant teller and retired as a vice president. She worked her ass off to move up in the company. She paid into the 401k plan. They didn’t just drop a ton of money in her lap. She was 4 years from retirement and got canned with all the others. 90% of the people canned were over 50 years of age. Ever tried getting a job where they told you you had too much experience? I thought not. You don’t know crap about what you are talking about. You don’t know the crap that BA started after they merged with Nations Bank. Thousands lost jobs. Many in the same boat as my wife. The only person in the entire department of over 50 people left, was one kid. About 25 years old. Nothing to pay him when they can him later.
