Hello Joe - 

CA>> Recent news articles tell me that many large corporations
CA>> are behind in the billions of dollars never put into their
CA>> pension funds 

JN> There are cities and counties, probably states,
JN> underfunding pension funds. Orange County in California had
JN> to go the bankruptcy route because of its problems. 

Which is probably the excuse used in government to not force
immediate payment from companies that are behind (nor to fine
them as the laws were written). The US government operates more
like a corporation each year with the same cold "I am eternal"
attitude towards it's citizens. I think if Eisenhower had taken
our boys to war with trumped up charges the people would've
burned the White House to the ground. 

JN> Of course the largest retirement plan, social security, is
JN> also the biggest and only legalized, ponzi scheme ever
JN> foisted on the American public. The original investors are
JN> being paid off with the "investments" of current workers. 

The social security fund was pillaged decades ago (another
minor rewrite allowed that to happen back then) and I've seldom
read or heard anyone admit to that. The setup is so identical
to a tauntine (sp?) that was outlawed years before I was born
that I am amazed that they can continue to collect (and
increase the percentage) the way the government does this. 

As I said, politicians seem to take on godlike powers the past
decades and consider themselves above the laws. We may as well
go back to the feudal system and not worry ourselves about the
details any longer. If you think of politicians as dukes,
earls, etc. what they say and do makes perfect sense. Any
pretense at democracy only confuses everything.
