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.
Unfortunately I believe this is the pot calling the kettle black...I my friend Drive vehicles from the brands of the big three which DO provide pensions (but shouldn't)....unlike the Honda you drive

BTW: How many retiree's do you see Honda supporting these days versus what the big three are supporting....I think you need to immediately go out and put your words into action by buying a few additional vehicles from the big 3's brands
