Dave Anderson’s letter to Boulder Weekly explains how cuts to pensions hurt the middle class only to benefit corporations.
“While cutting pensions, Detroit decided to spend $285 million to build a new professional hockey stadium. On the same day the Illinois state Senate voted to eviscerate pensions, they also gave a multimillion-dollar tax break to the agribusiness mega-corp Archer Daniels Midland.
The money is there. We just need a government serving the people, not the rich.
