I for one don’t want to pay higher taxes to continue to pay state workers pensions. That’s just crazy. Also, my point was not “I don’t get a pension so neither should they” (which I didn’t say) although that is a nice way to create a strawman and demonize me. Are you totally out of touch with economics? The private sector discontinued pensions because they could NOT fund them and stay in business. Guess why California is broke? Wake up and smell the coffee.
