Pensions

Today comes news that Verizon is abandoning it's obligation
to contrubute to pension plans.

More and more corporations are doing this.

You steal thousands of dollars from your employer and
you'll go to jail. Your employer steals thousands from
you in commitments they made in past years to contribute
to your pension and not only do they not go to jail they
get a reward in the form of tax breaks/pay raises/etc.
