A 401k isn't the same as a pension plan.
In my last company they had a pension plan and a 401k plan. When I left the company I converted my 401k plan to an IRA which is federally protected. The company stole my pension.
Instead of ranting you need to get your talking-points right.
pensions were better, especially when run by the unions.
401K, you are stuck for whatever wild ride they put you on.
That was part of the painful lesson I learned at my last job.
The company can declare bankrupcy and say the pension is history.
With a 401k the company can't touch it. Right now the market is way up so your argument is outdated. As long as you stay with the company a 401k is a good investment. Switching it to an IRA gives you more flexibility.
Oh......and blaming the GOP for what your boss did to you is like blaming Bush for a flat-tire.
