CEOs cut pensions, pad their own
Since the poor, middleclass, and the rich will all end up in the grave, why should we not strive to be like these executives?
If the employees don't like it, are they not free to get another job or start their own business?
After all as long as I get mine why should I care about those who don't since stories like the one below are manmade fantasies.
Luke 16
19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Maybe if Lazarus got a job or an education he wouldn't have been so poor and have to beg.
