Because "Fuck you," That's Why

First of all, go read this post. Go ahead, I'll wait...

Now, I doubt that Mr. Benmosche, while lounging around his seaside villa in Dubrovnik, Croatia, or any other of his seaside or non-seaside villas, has ever had much occasion to meet an actual working person.  I'm pretty sure that even the hiring of people like his gardeners, maids, chauffeurs, etc., is left up to some well-paid Personal Assistant, and that it is a condition of their employment that they never, ever, appear in the presence of Mr. Benmosche.  Had Mr. Benmosche ever actually met and/or conversed with an Actual Working Person, a person who earns their bread by the sweat of their brow rather than by sitting behind a desk, coming up with complicated formulae for derivatives used to bilk little old ladies out of their pensions and scam homeowners out of their homes, I'm sure he would realize that expecting a gardener, or a maid, or a construction worker or a cop to work until they're 80 is completely fucking insane.  Someone in Mr. Benmosche's position, who has never even broken a fingernail in the course of a day's work, and who also, by the way, is wealthy enough to have the very best of medical care, and has never had to eat ramen to make it through the end of the month, is not very likely to understand that.  I get this.  Unless you actually know folks who break their backs to feed themselves and their families, it's very hard to relate.

However, being the Financial Genius and MOTU that he is, one would think that Mr. Benmosche would understand that such a plan is not even remotely financially feasible.  You see, if older workers stay in their jobs ten or twenty years longer than they currently do, there is no room for the up-and-coming, younger job-seekers.  To this point, I would like to direct the following to Mr. Benmosche's attention:

Dear Mr. High and Mighty Prince of Upper Asscrack Living in Your Gated Palace in Dubrovnik:

If people are working until they're 80,  just what in the sweet mother of fuck do you expect the oodles and oodles of twenty-somethings trying to enter the workforce to do for jobs, you steaming pile of monkey shit?  If older workers do not retire, younger workers cannot replace them.  And if enough younger people do not have jobs and are not able to support themselves, you end up with a whole bunch of what are commonly called "radicals," and, they will be coming for you, you fucking dirtbag.

Love,

TV

P.S. By the way, you do realize, also, that by instituting your "plan," and thus contributing to already scarily high unemployment, you will be screwing yourself?  No workers equals no tax revenue; no tax revenue equals no funds available for those "crazies" in Congress to hand over to you the next time your financial wizardry causes a global financial meltdown.  You do know that, right?
