[quote=paramount]We’re really off in the twilight zone now; I for one am sick/tired of subsidizing ridiculous govt worker (total) compensation.
Govt workers are mandated to contribute 3% to their pensions, but are given a 4% out-of-cycle raise for their troubles.
Cities in California aren’t strapped because they don’t take in enough prop 13 or other tax money (there are ways around prop 13 – bonds, fees, etc…) – they are strapped because a librarian in San Diego is getting paid $225,000 for life (and were not even talking about med benefits, etc…).
California is closing in on $700 billion in unfunded pension liabilities for govt workers – don’t be surprised if you catch one of Jerry’s kids digging in your sofa for loose change.
They want every last penny for their wealth redistribution agenda.[/quote]
Yeah, you just keep on spouting that same old propaganda, paramount. No need to actually understand the issues or rely on facts or data. Rhetoric and propaganda are all that’s need to convince Joe Sixpack that the unions are the ones who’ve destroyed his financial security. Never mind the facts.
BTW, no “librarian” is making $225K for life.
And how about answering for the facts dug up about your “California Teachers taking on the Teachers’ Union” garbage?
Why is it that whenever the facts come out, you disappear?
