[quote=CA renter][quote=sdrealtor]Its good they have taken hits. Everyone else has so why should they be different? I just thought that since you were so outspoken in your calls for reform that you may have offered to give some up voluntarily as a good faith gesture. You know…walk the walk not just talk the talk.[/quote]
Have you offered to give up some of your Social Security and Medicare benefits, yet? After all, the SS and Medicare programs are a lot worse off than many public pension funds. Being a taxpayer advocate and all…
I didn’t think so.[/quote]
Another great post by CAR further murdering her case. By equating SS and Medicare with public pension plans you have effectively put forth that they are all entitlement programs.
BTW, by giving up wages (talking clients out of buying) I reduced my contributions to SS so yes I did give up some of my benefits if something were to happen to me and I was not able to collect the max benefits available.
