Jack, it's called the free market. Not regression, just plain ole free market capitalism where we have liberty and freedom.<br></br>
<br></br>
Pensions? What do we need pensions for? We have that wonderful Social (in)Security to take care of us for time immemorial.<br></br>
<br></br>
So, they paid into those programs (by the threat of force) but they shouldn't take out what they put in?<br></br>

PS It is because of the progressives in both parties that we are in the situation we are today. Overspending; spending money our grandchildren don't have. Whether that be on undeclared wars or on corporate welfare. Sooner or later, you run out of OPM.

No problem, I can respect anyone's opinions as long as they respect mine.<br />
<br />
The problem is, the Repubs are no different than the Dems, haven't been for quite some time.

I'm probably the most opposite of everyone here. I love heights...the higher the better! I'm not even afraid of falling the sudden stop at the end I admit scares me a bit.<br />

Ok serious now...I am scared to death of ice. Not ice in a cup or on a road, but the frozen lake/river kind of ice. As a kid I fell through the ice and was trapped under the ice, if it wouldn't have been for my dad witnessing me go through well I may just not be here right now.<br />

I've never been on the ice since and that was over 30 years ago. I don't care if the lake is frozen to the bottom I will not step foot on it. So don't fall through in front of me because you will be SOL..I will stay on shore and help the others IE holding on to their ropes, but thats it.

Hmmm...if one is afraid of Progressives, what then does that person wish for? Regressives? The 1890's? Death in childbirth? Hurt on the job...tough shit, see ya later, not our problem?<br />
<br />
Wait...weren't UNIONS brought about by social Progressives (aka Democrats)?<br />
<br />
Aren't PENSIONS a result of Unions?<br />
<br />
What about workplace safety, overtime/time and a half, holiday pay?<br />

Here's hoping those that are a'gin <i>Progressives</i> at least have the strength of their conviction NOT to accept SSN, Medicare or Medicaid...all socialist programs brought about by <i>Progressives</i> and paid for by taxing the honorable, god-like working man.
