That is okay. We need those taxes to give the illegals more free stuff. Never mind that people who have put in to these funds will not get them, just as long as the illegals and the dreaded poor get their money.

the unions drove all these businesses out of business... now the rest of us will have to pick up the tab.

This has nothing to do with illegals. Do you look for illegals under your bed at night?

Have the people put anything into these pension funds? - other than years on the job, I mean. I thought these pension plans were simply funded by the company, and not some sort of 401K plan people bought into.

If the retirees did put their own money in, don't they have a right to remove their own money from the fund and control it? That's the way a company 401K works.
