<<<<Why should he be able to retire at 52 when the rest of us have to work until 65 or 67?>>>>

Perhaps the question should be, why shouldn't we all be able to retire at 52?

Or why doesn't this nation have universal, single payer lifetime health care like the rest of the Western industrialized world?
And if you start to say we can't afford that....

We can pay for healthcare in taxes, or pay for it privately. But if you want the cheapest method.....

Medicare overhead = +/- 3%

Private health care overhead = 20%-30%

But in simple terms, he can retire at an early age because he picked a career in a Unionized industry
where the labor force still has some power, instead of picking a career somewhere that just gives the worker
what management decides to dole out.

Don't hate him for what he has; ask yourself why YOU don't have it.
