A capitalist would say no. After all the Enron rank-and-file employees thought they had a right to their pensions, too, but the bigwigs had other ideas.

You have a guaranteed pension because you have been a government employee. The government is providing for you, through my taxes. They are giving you a safety net. And you begrudge kids with cancer a government provided safety net, too? Wow.
