Pensions and health care for all americans do not cost as much money as the Department of Defense (about 650 billion a year now) and unnecessary military invasions of other countries (trillions of dollars) in violation of the constitution of the United States. Did I mention that these wars kill mainly civilians now? Everyone should have enough money to take care of themselves in their old age after working 30-40 years...but it's OK with you if CEO makes millions?
Hey assholes, all government workers who are in a pension plan PAY into it throughout their careers. I have been paying into my pension at a rate of 9.125% of my gross salary since I was 23 years old. The average American worker saves less than 3% towards retirement. My pension isnt some "gift", I PAID for it at a very high rate. If you want to point the finger at a "taxpayer burden", look towards all the welfare and handouts for people who DONT WORK! Dont point the finger at hard workers.
@geckster109 the point is that government jobs dont actually produce anything and your paycheck comes from tax payers who actually do produce things. getting paid to work simply to create a job isnt really productive, if it was then the government would just hire everyone in the country, oh wait, soviet russia already tried that.
@anryth You are right, my job doesnt "produce" anything. As a firefighter, I create nothing tangible. I simply risk my life to save yours. Perhaps we should do away with fire and police, huh? We dont need those services.
@geckster109 your right, and do to the non-existence of these services there will be a demand for it allowing entrepreneurs to come in and fulfill the demand more efficiently and more cost effectively than the government ever could. most firefighters are volunteer anyways.
You see the problem is, you jackass. Is you end up getting way way way way way more from a pension after you retire then you ended up paying in. And im sorry you are a little whiny bitch about but, like it or not the pensions are BANKRUPTING cities and states. They are as unsustainable as social security and for the same reasons. It takes too many people to support 1 retire.
What really needs to be done with federal, state, city, local, etc, etc, pension plans (probably will never happen) is to have all new employees put on a DEFINED CONTRIBUTION (self directed ira/401k plan) plan, as opposed to a DEFINED BENEFIT plan. Curent employees under a DEFINED BENEFIT plan should be required to make contributions that will result in full funding of the pension system. Also, do away with the retiree health benefits, cannot justify this huge bennie any more.
Nice Nice Video. I really loved your video. Youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed, check out this site called tubeviews [dot net] It has really done wonders for me, I have built 3 Channels up with videos at top in position and this is my forth channel i'm going to working on.
