The concept you are portraying in your story is called "unjust enrichment". That is when someone gets something that they did not earn. It is something that you will find supported not just by liberals (Democrats), but by conservatives (Republicans) as well. I think that you will find that most of the guys getting golden parachutes from companies that they took to bankruptcy are conservatives. I am talking about Enron, AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and so on. They think it is alright to take hundreds of millions of dollars from these companies that they surely did not earn. I don't think anyone under any circumstances someone should get that much money as an employee. And not only didn't they earn the money, they destroyed the company and ruined the lives of the employees and many of the investors. I have a former Enron employee working in my office now who is past retirement age because Ken Lay and his cronies made his pension worthless. So it while there are liberals who give money to those who have not earned it, there are also conservatives who greedily take money they did not earn to the determent of others.
