Seeing how your not capable of remembering your own posts, YOU SAID NOBODY GETS A PENSION ANYMORE I merely corrected you.
Also that should also put to rest the nonsense "they get more than the private sector" they DON"T.
Again Don't aspire to come up to "my " level Let's try and drag them down to "your" level. YOU made a bad choice in life now you feel everybody should to so you can feel better for yourself.  |
You can find plenty of examples of overpaid public workers. Bell California of recent... I'm sure he could come up with plenty of Connecticut examples. Are they the rule or the exception? The only hard statistic I could find is the average federal worker retirement age is 58 with average benefits paid of $40,000 annually. That's much better than the private sector, much much better, but these people are also better educated. The problem isn't whether its fair or not, its whether we can afford it as taxpayers.
He wasn't attacking union members in the private sector, merely union members in public positions who think not making any sacrifices is not an option when there's a massive deficit and states have to balance the budget.
Then you start getting personal and on nothing to do with his post, which is a classic troll response. This gives him little inclination to continue any discussion with you. I don't blame him one bit.
