Hostess Brands acknowledged for the first time in a news report Monday
that the company diverted workers' pension money for other company
uses.

The bankrupt baker told The Wall Street Journal that money taken out
of workers' paychecks, intended for their retirement funds, was used
for company operations instead. Hostess, which was under different
management at the time the diversions began in August 2011, said it
does not know how much money it took.

So what's new? The Unites States Government has been doing the same
thing to Social Security for decades

Government and worker/employer relations are two different things.

Yeah, when a government has an unfunded obligation like Social
Security they just print more money ... until inflation crushes their
economy and they become Weimar Germany.


SS unfunded? WTF are you talking about? It's been funded alright, by
you and me. Jackoffs like Bush and Cheney didn't give a **** about
unfunded wars when they went after WMDs "in and around Tikrit."

If they want to steal from SS to fund wars, let those who profited pay
the biggest price.


You want to cut into the profiteering of the warmongers? That's unAmerican!


What is unAmerican is not paying your taxes, not pulling your own weight
and screwing the little guy who is just trying to get by.
