The ultra rich can do and live however they want. This morning I was talking to someone about pensions. They don’t have one and they don’t know anyone who does have one. I am retired from a state job in Florida. I am very lucky that I have a pension. My dad had one. He worked as a furrier back in the 1950’s. He had a union. Maybe that’s why he had a pension. My mom worked for a college in Brooklyn and had a pension. My friends working for the transit authority had pensions as did teachers. This CEO of Blackstone wants to support Trump. He doesn’t have to worry about a pension or how he is going to support himself. Most Republicans are wealthy and feel this way. Pensions are becoming a thing of the past. Republicans support this and it’s sad. How are people suppose to support themselves in retirement? And they want to do away with social security too? We need leaders who are going to bring these pensions back. Who are going to help the middle class. I can’t understand why Republicans want to destroy a system that has worked for so many years. And believe me. They are doing this!!!
I totally agree. I am a retired teacher with a pension. I’m not rich but I am comfortable when I add in my 403b. My kids on the other hand are putting as much as possible into their retirement savings accounts but it takes away from their quality of life now. I’m hoping that my savings outlast me so they can have a chance to help their kids get through college.
My father fled Estonia and immigrated to America as a Displaced Person after World War II. I was beyond fortunate to be born here. Many of my parents' relatives were never heard from again. Today I read that Russia has removed buoys from the Narva River that demarcate the boundary between Estonia and Russia. Trump is an aspiring dictator who idolizes Putin and his dictatorship of Russia.. We are at grave risk of losing our democracy if he wins in November. The upcoming election is the most important one of our lives. Please vote for Biden and encourage everyone you know to do so as well! Ukraine and the Baltic countries will thank you.
You can write postcards and letters to voters. Try Vote Forward, Postcards to Swing States, Field Team 6, and Moms Rising. I'm doing 600 this time but whatever you can do helps. There isn't a lot of writing and they give you the names and addresses.
That’s all true. And I’m glad your family is here!
With this rottenness inside our country we must all be vigilant every election.
This ugliness of tRump & this greedy, authoritarian madness isn’t going away soon. It’s like the ugliness of racism & white supremacy most of us Thought was long gone. We must be vigilant.
Thank you & Yevgeny for your service. And deepest respect to every Gold Star family.
Your words are absolutely true-
It’s just amazing that so many people Don’t get why they’ve had the opportunity to become wealthy & so privileged. It’s this country.
It’s our military people and every other regular Americans that work hard - for often far less than they deserve - that allows them & their corporations to flourish. Yet they don’t respect the foundation and middle that supports the top of the pyramid they sit upon.
Pretty ugly & rude of them all to behave this way. Arrogance is never a stable, endearing attitude!
Hope you, yours, and all our honorable & deserving veterans and servicemen have a wonderful weekend and enjoy day of gratitude. 🙏🏼
They basically don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. They're parasites. Greed and corruption are America's greatest enemy. Thank you for all that you've done for our nation. You do honor to all of us.🗽🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸
So beautifully stated. There really is nothing to add except thank you, LtC, for all you have , and continue, to do for this great country. As a fellow veteran, I am proud to be in your camp.
Trump has always campaigned pro-business. Biden says, "Tax the rich". I don't think there's any mystery here. Foreign policy? Meh, protect my bank account, thank-you very much Mr Trump.

We must bring back these important pensions!!! Or try to get our kids jobs that supply them!!!

So beautifully and eloquently said. Thank you for helping us stay focused on what matters.

I think the appropriate term for those people is wussies.
