The Rape of the Taxpayer - Public Pensions

The Pigs are at the Trough  -  Everyone from illegal aliens to multi-national corporations are feeding at the taxpayer through and they all agree that you need to pay more in taxes.

• Labor unions are fighting tooth and nail to keep raping the taxpayers.

A pension hawk who is running for mayor of San Diego released information meant to shock:

• a retired assistant city attorney with an annual pension of $307,758
• a chief librarian receiving $234,091
• an 80% increase in the last two years in the number of retired city employees with pensions of more than $100,000.

"At a time when roads are falling apart, services are being cut and private-sector taxpayers are facing difficult economic realities, these pension payouts are simply offensive," Councilman Carl DeMaio, a candidate for mayor, said at a news conference last week says the Los Angeles Times.

The government gravy train goes on and on, and the taxpayers, like good Sheeple, keep bending over for these crooked bastards.

Now the city labor unions have gone to court asking a judge to block the city from putting a pension overhaul measure favored by DeMaio on the June ballot. A hearing is set for Tuesday.

The measure would end guaranteed pensions for newly hired employees and instead provide 401(k) accounts for everyone except police. The measure would also freeze salaries at which pensions are calculated for five years.
