RUSH: John in Argyle, Texas, great to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. I need to take you to task on two things you\u2019ve said within the last couple weeks which have really just sent me over the edge, a few other things you\u2019ve said in the past.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: One has got to do with last week you mentioned that you would never have to pay for someone that wasn\u2019t producing something or that wasn\u2019t working. And I have to question whether or not you have now lumped retirees into that group, or do you consider those people that are no longer producing, even though the company, when they went into retirement, the company decided, instead of giving them a lump sum payout, were going to give \u2019em an annuity? Well, they\u2019re not working for the company, but they\u2019ve met that requirement. Are they okay?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I guess up to a certain point, but now many of these people are being paid more in retirement than they ever earned while they worked.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, Rush, I gotta ask you this, then. Do you have the same heartburn after somebody spends 20 years in the military?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Then what\u2019s the difference, they\u2019ve met their requirement.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t have heartburn. I\u2019m talking about pure mathematics here. You can talk about annuities all you want. When General Motors or any company has to take from their profits and pay people who are not working anymore, at some point the inability to do so is going to occur, pure and simple. I don\u2019t pay anybody who used to work for the EIB Network, but no longer does. They\u2019re on their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
