Trusted their employer to honor a promise, only to find that in America, the only thing that is always honored is executive bonuses. I'll bet Delta executives still have their pension plans.

Everyday we see another story about how 'the pigs at the trough' have screwed the hard working people of this country. If we don't vote them out of office soon this country won't be worth a plug nickle.
