Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said yesterday it's unfair that executives of failed corporations are paid millions of dollars while their employees lose their pensions.
Biden vowed that he and Barack Obama would attack corporate greed if they're elected.
Biden took direct aim at executives who draw big salaries while leading failed companies. "Their pensions go first," he told his audience.
Biden spoke to about 1,000 people at a high school in heavily Republican Colorado Springs, which is home to a number of conservative evangelical organizations. Fire marshals turned away dozens of people after the gymnasium filled up.
