They don't have pensions because people like you support companies that have stripped them as a benefit. Don't know about you, personally, but these are often the same folks who would like to see SSI done away with (as long as they get theirs). Of course, how they are supposed to shift 15% of their pay to a 401K after a 25% wage cut is their problem, right?
The mentality these days is work 30 or 40 yrs, then go into a corner and die. This so Ma and Pa Walmart can kick back with $110 billion instead of $100 billion in their pocket books.
