Why do pension plans deserve unearned money?

Change that to why does *ANYONE* deserve unearned money and you'll be
on
the right track.

Indeed! I don't think that is taught in school anymore. In fact, I
think
the opposite is taught.

Neither is taught in school. Values are learned from parents by
example. It's much easier to assign blame than to act responsibly and
the results are now coming back to bite.

Greed has become a respected value. There's nothing new about greed,
it's just become more democratic. But greed needs a body of ****ees
so a body of greedy *******s needs a larger body of ****ees.

Now our leadership in Washington encourages us all to be greedy
*******s, it's a democracy after all. The third world is rapidly
catching up economically and technologically so the body of ****ees
will be our children and grandchildren.

Human nature tempered by learned value system? What I never understood is
how one can be happy with or even tolerate unearned wealth.

Doesnt it depend on how one aquires that wealth?

If I found $100k on the street in a bag, and after taking it to the
police, waiting a bit and then being given it back...or if I won a
significant amount...Id be joyously happy with the money.

If someone dropped off $100k and split..Id be concerned as hell.

I too would be thrilled with a lotto win or such but it doesn't match the
thrill of a new design working beyond expectations or the accomplishment of
a difficult repair finished just right. Free money is cool as long as it
isn't at the expense of someone else. Libtards consider free money an
entitlement.

Very very true!!
