Employers Spend More on Retirement than Health Benefits

It stayed in the employer's coffers instead of being paid to the then employees that make and made the employer the money to be, stay and prosper in business. Take a moment to think. That money was supposed to go into a fund to earn interest for the express purpose of being available for the retirees. It was not supposed to be siphoned off by the employers. Employers are not the government that has historically robbed the social security trust fund that is now in danger of running out in the future.

Retirees are sum and parcel only drawing on their own earned account.
