That what I'm saying...the path the current GOP is walking could change that if they're not careful.

I'd say that making a generation of dependent retirees would play right into the Lefts agenda. Make everyone a damn welfare recipient.

But they aren't the one's who put them in this situation.

There was a time when companies would give workers a pension for a lifetime of work and loyalty but they wanted to increase profits so they put the burden of retirement on the employees themselves.

Thus, we have a generation of people dependent on the government to make ends meet.

Wait, you mean companies actually expected people to pay for their own retirement instead of the company paying for their retirement? Oh the humanity!!

Incorrect. Employees paid for their retirement by sacrificing 30 years of loyalty and hard work to a company. It was a benefit given to the employee. That changed however without an increase in compensation. So in effect, companies started paying their workers less and forced them to worry about their own retirement.

Win win for the company

Loss loss for the employee

You mean they didn't get a paycheck? Sacrifice indicates non-paid.

Also, could you please show any data that shows pay DECREASING? Oh, you can't.
