Don't let Top CEOs tell Congress what you need

Earlier this week, the Business Roundtable — a trade association made up of
the CEOs of giant corporations — sent a letter to Congress.
What do they want to do?

    Increase the eligibility age for Medicare.
    Make access to Medicare dependent on income.
    “Modernize” — a.k.a. privatize — Medicare.

In other words, the millionaires who run the largest corporations on Earth
want to slash the social insurance programs the rest of us rely on.
The Business Roundtable’s leadership consists of CEOs from AT&T, Boeing, Dow
Chemical, Exxon Mobil, General Electric, JPMorgan, Walmart and other mega-
corporations.

What do they know about what it’s like to worry if you can retire with
dignity and security?
