dirty old man

As I read all the depressing news about giant corporations like United Airlines, Bethlehem Steel, General Motors, etc., bailing out on their peoples pension funds, I feel like a good guy after all. I was in business for 30 years, 25 of that I offered my employees a fully funded and vested pension plan. When we all bailed out, two of my key guys were millionairs and many got hundreds of thousands. Not much in todays world, but a heck of a lot more than some of you will be getting if the giants keep screwing you. There are hundreds of thousands of you who will either not get your pension or have it severely reduced. And how about those in my age bracket who are going to take a big cut? I could go on adnauseum but you know the story. While I boat into the sunset of Lake Mead, you may have to work until you drop. I may be a dirty old man but I treated my people decently.
