A Government Job Means a Great Retirement
When people pay themselves they get paid very well. No kidding.
It kind of starts with the congress itself. Not only do these political creeps establish their own pay, they also slip in the extras. Notice, for example, that they voted themselves out of Social Security and into a private plan that pays them a retirement fortune the rest of us can only dream about. Many of these so called selfless public servants, after they work a year or two, retire and forever receive more pay than when they worked. Taxpayers like you and I pay for this.
Think about it. Why do you suppose a man will spend $200,000 to get elected to a government job that pays $25,000 a year? Hint: Look at his retirement program. Notice that the Mayor (often a ceremonial position with a token salary) often retires with a huge pension. Why should we little people taxpayers support such generous benefits?
What happened to ethics and the idea of public service.
What happened to oversight responsibilities.
What happened to checks and balances in politics.
Far too many people in government jobs are vastly overpaid.
They are robbing the public bank.
And we let them.
