[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 3967139, member: 76548"] Are you out of your mind? Is that how you feel about your own family? Do you really think anyone deserves to be out banging on shingles at 80 or digging ditches at 75 because they weren't fortunate enough to have a high paying union job or didn't have the mental capacity to get a white collar job that allows you to both live in the present and set aside for the distant future? That's about as cold hearted as it can get. We're all just one illness or catastrophe from being bankrupt and in serious trouble. Do NOT think insurance will save you from that either. Because it doesn't. You can thank people like yourself, who installed caps on what the companies are liable to pay for that. People who are doing well in life have a false sense of security that they don't realize can be shattered in an instant. You must be young, or have led a charmed life, if you haven't seen it happen before. Either that, or you're extremely naive. Everyone deserves to spend the last few years of their lives doing whatever the :censored: they want if they've spent their whole life working and contributing to society. Every job provides a value to society and serves the greater good, for the most part. Just because they don't make a ton of money doesn't make those people in those jobs less than. [/QUOTE]
