That post encapsulates the whole schism in the country. Most non-city dwellers see life extremely different then the more rural areas. And there are a ton of real life differences that space and/or the lack of space that skew perceptions across a whole spectrum of political questions. It's as great an issue this country has ever faced - and while not new, it is being exacerbated in our political climate.

Why? Had trump and Ryan not fucked the country with this tax bill to rob the middle class this would not be necessary and MTK is right about who will benefit more.

I'll put you in the 44% that strongly disapprove.

NY really can’t take much more of a hit so I think Cuomo will get something done

This is EXACTLY what I've been harping on. The corporate tax changes mean the US will collect more from corporations, not less.

And companies will save more money going forward.

That sucks. However, what does it have to do with the tax bill? Or did you just think this was the best place for this article? I ain't mad about it either way but I'm left to guess what your point is, since all you did is provide the link.

This decision appears to be in no way related to the new tax bill.

Weirder still it's from Jan 8th, and is only half the story:

Arconic to freeze U.S. pension plans | Economy | qctimes.com

They are simply changing from a pension plan to a 401k retirement plan.

Is that better for employees?

I don't know. The article I posted said that they had already switched new employees to the 401k which was standard in their industry, and now were switching the remaining employees.

I don't know but I am a BCPS teacher in a Maryland state pension plan. Every pay period 7% of my salary gets taken out of my paycheck and I get no option to how it is invested. To top it off there is no guarantee I will ever be able to withdraw the money much like SS. I know it is very conservative of me but I would prefer if I was required to invest the money but given the option to how I want to invest it. The major difference being that SS helps all walks of people but my plan is exclusively for educators. If you are in the education business you should be smart enough to know how to invest securely IMO.

it was posted to show that corporate greed is still running rampant, even after those tax breaks. while some chose to hand back bonuses to their employees, arconic chose to save even more money by freezing our pensions
