Fantastic. Are these union people?

Quote
Hundreds of LIRR employees falsely declared themselves disabled to collect more pension money from the ages of 50 to 65, when they would otherwise qualify for full benefits, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

The complaint said a retired engineering manager who complained of severe hand, knee, shoulder and back pain often played tennis and golf while collecting about $105,000 yearly in combined pension and disability payments.

Another former employee said she suffered neck, shoulder and hand pain from computer work and couldn't stand more than five minutes without leg pain. She was "surveilled shoveling heavy snow for approximately one and a half hours," the complaint said. She gets about $108,000 a year in combined pension and disability payments.

G, I've come to the conclusion that its time to recognize that treachery, fraud, greed and political abuses are endemic in our culture. Its meaningless to point fingers at unions, hippies, young entitled, rich, poor, religious, godless, corporates, dems, repubs, tp'ers without noting that. Every category is carrying their fare share of shocking revelations.

Maybe the next movement will be integrity based.

Understandable. But right now, the unions (Wisconsin) and hippies (OWS) are in the spotlight. Just as the TP was getting nailed, it is now for these groups to take their lumps.

You're probably right. The hippies, because they are harmless, don't bother me as much as the unions do. After what I saw in Wisconsin, it just sickens me to even hear the word "unions". And any chance I get to expose these goons I will jump at.

More like turnabout is fair play. But I am going to back off the OWS "hippies". Those chucking racist, antisemitic, statements, or abuse kids and women, or generally act like idiots, though, I think should be exposed. After I watched the lengthy Schiff video I posted earlier, I think I get some points but overall the OWS borders on embarrassing is harmless.

So,...these people have been at it for what - 6 weeks or so?  And Fox has been at it for 30 years.  Does this mean you are gonna spend 6 weeks blasting the ows, then 30 years blasting the Fox-ians?  Turnabout, fair play, and all that jazz...

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions, unions.

Bernie Madoff committed fraud worth over $60 billion by himself, Guido.  Try to keep some perspective.

Fox News just celebrated their 15th "Birthday".  You must have them working double time.

That's just mean!!! Cheesy I'll get some perspective since $1B is apparently not very significant when compared to Madoff.

Ok, Murdoch, then.  He has been around a long time.

Let's see if he will blast them for 15 years then...

That's right. They have committed so much bias and told so many lies that it seemed like 30 years.
