As a grocery chain is dismantled, investors recover their money. Worker pensions are short millions.

“They did everyone dirty,” said Kilby Baker, 70, a retired warehouse worker whose pension check was cut by about 25 percent after Marsh Supermarkets withdrew from the pension. “We all gave up wage increases so we could have a better pension. Then they just took it away from us.”

Only the executives’ plan, however, was fully funded under the sales agreement: With the completion of Sun’s purchase, Marsh’s top five executives were to be awarded $14 million in retirement payments, according to company financial documents. Among them: CEO Don Marsh at $7 million and corporate counsel P. Lawrence Butt at $2.2 million.

Politically, he may be best known for hosting the Boca Raton, Fla., dinner where presidential candidate Mitt Romney made what became infamous comments about the “47 percent of the people .  who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims.”

Hello dherd, where's Big Cuntry on this thread?

Hello dherd, where's Big Cuntry on this thread?

Please leave him alone. He is still trying to figure out why he is against the ban on bump stocks. The NRA hasn't gotten back to him yet, because if you haven't heard, they may not be able to make it in the near future.

Geez, Rifle, are you still on that? I haven't even thought about that since I made the post. The bump stock thing was a joke simply because no matter what I said, you would write a 14 paragraph short story about Trump, Parkland and Sandy Hook that would make no sense whatsoever (just like you will after I make this post). The 2nd Amendment is very clear on the issue of gun ownership, so why would I be against something that makes a gun more effective? After all, the point of gun ownership is to protect us against the government, which I'm all for.

I don't support taking away MSNBC's right to free speech, despite their abuse of the 1st Amendment on a daily basis. Why support something that goes against the 2nd Amendment?

Want to know what would make a gun even more effective? Allowing it to shoot nuclear warheads out of it. Why would you be against that since it would make the gun more "effective?"

After all, the point of gun ownership is to protect us against the government, which I'm all for.

No, the point of the Amendment is to allow citizens to overthrow a tyrannical federal government. It isn't to "protect" citizens from the government. As I have gone over, in order to protect citizens from what the federal government has at their disposal in terms for weaponry, in order to be intellectually honest, you will have to support citizens having a ton of weaponry that they currently aren't allowed to have.

I don't support taking away MSNBC's right to free speech, despite their abuse of the 1st Amendment on a daily basis.

This should be good: explain the "abuse" of the 1st by MSNBC.

Good to know that one of your absurd stances was just a joke.

They don't have technology to allow you to fire small arms nuclear warheads.

We have all that weaponry, including the ability to wipe mankind from the earth, but have lost over 5000 troops and been in 3rd world countries for 17 years. The rifle and small unit tactics are pretty effective.

No shit? The point is that BC would have to support the legality of it based on his argument.

Not really, but ok.

Oh? Then, explain.

Reducto ad absurdum only works when the logical outcome is rationally to be expected.

SAYS THE GUY WHO WAS RIOTING UNDER BUSH BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GO TO WAR IN IRAQ FAST ENOUGH TO SUIT HIM. HYPOCRISY, IGNORANCE, AND DESIRE FOR AUTHORITARIANISM RULE CONSERVATIVES.

HOW'D YOU FEEL ABOUT CINDY SHEEHAN?

About 400 people gathered near a stage on an eastern segment of the mall, a large patchwork American flag serving as a backdrop. Amid banners and signs proclaiming support for U.S. troops, several speakers hailed the effort to bring democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan and denounced those who protest it.

Many demonstrators focused their ire at Cindy Sheehan, the California woman whose protest near President Bush's Texas home last summer galvanized the anti-war movement.

"The group who spoke here the other day did not represent the American ideals of freedom, liberty and spreading that around the world," Sen. Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican, told the crowd. "I frankly don't know what they represent, other than to blame America first."

One sign on the mall read "Cindy Sheehan doesn't speak for me" and another "Arrest the traitors"; it listed Sheehan's name first among several people who have spoken against the war.

"Our troops are over there fighting for our rights, and if she was in one of those countries she would not be able to do that," Vigna said.
