One of the business models however, involves buying companies to steal their pensions and real
This venture involves a company founded in 1931 called Marsh Supermarkets which including it's convenience stores numbered in the hundreds. Enter in Sun Capital inspired by Mitt Romney's old outfit Bain Capital. It is my belief that if allowed, unregulated capitalism would eat itself and die. But that's just my observation. Below are some excerpts from the story at The Washington Post.
For Sun Capital, this process of buying companies, seeking profits and leaving pensions unpaid is a familiar one. Over the past 10 years, it has taken five companies into bankruptcy while leaving behind debts of about $280 million owed to employee pensions.

bankruptcy law changed in 1978, Gotbaum said, “the business

ReplyDeleteCall it socialism, which is what we need to balance the budget which is about 21 trillion, and Trump has really screwed people on their taxes this year as for the average tax-payer they lost about $100/month, and that alone will bring about socialist ways, like medicare-for-all, carbon-tax or get the axe, all for the lower and middle class that bare the weight of the rich and their wants, as trickle down economics is a lie, lie most of what the rich have to say...

ReplyDeleteestate. I call this, living high on the tears of the people who's lives you destroyed. They then stay in business for a while longer with a hollowed out company that isn't worth anything and file bankruptcy. They get all their money back and your blood sweat and tears. You? Well you get nothing! The sad thing is, you can't trust the Republicans with your Social Security and we can't trust Wall St. with our jobs, 401k's or pensions. Even if it makes you mad, do keep reading.
