united airlines bankruptcy history
Is Boehner the quintessential Ugly American?
I in my 62 year old history have never seen a person so full of venom and lies as John Boehner. I had previously detested this piece of human vile when John Boehner stood in the way of Congressman George Miller trying to help us when our company claimed Bankruptcy on our retirement system. The company had made the largest profits in its 80 year history in the previous 12 years to its bankruptcy. It had given bonuses and raises and stock options to its CEO’s and VP’s while it gave us stock in lew of raises. During that period of time the company failed to fund our retirement and yet after coming out of Bankruptcy found the money to again give bonuses to its top 400 managers. The company was United Airlines. Now Boehner is attempting to screw the middle class again and those retirees that struggle to keep their healthcare and cope with the donut hole
Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Mitt Romney make me want to vomit.
