“Bonuses for mid-level federal employees are designed primarily to cheat them out of retirement credits.”
You mean pay them for not working.
What you do not have in the federal government are "small business" people ~ they don't allow that. In fact you start doing that stuff on the clock they'll send you to jail.
I am so sick of hearing freepers excuse the elitist Wall Street types for taking billions out of their failing companies when they left or in the form of compensation...and then asserting an ordinary worker who gets a pension or any form of retirement is somehow the problem...Well I’m older than some of you obviously. You don’t know what it used to be like before Free Trade and all the other BS, You went to work and supported your family (one salary mostly)...you could look forward to receiving decent benefits and a pension. If the company did well you benefited also.
This brave new world you youngins are creating will cause much misery and socialism in the end. These bankers have damaged capitalism more than any socialist Dem ever could...average Americans no longer trust capitalism or believe in free market ideals...thanks Wall Street...greedy bastids.
