I think Joes main bugaboo is that if you enter into and agreement with an employer and the employer miscalculates his costs(IE pension), he shouldn’t be able to screw you out of what he agreed to pay you for a lifetime of work.
Let him take the hit he agreed to the terms.
To me its like the CEO Bank bonuses. Those deals were made and those CEO’s did their part, then the Gubmint screws them out of their pay. that is not fair business.
RUSH! the man worked 20 years toward that pension and they pulled the rug out 4 months from the finish line!
I thought that was a really good call. The caller even had Rush backing away from his whole “Talent on loan from God” thing as if suddenly Rush’s talent is his own now.
