To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
CONGRESS' PENSION DEAL IS BETTER THAN OTHER FEDERAL WORKERS!
THE UNETHICAL ACTIVITY OF GREED MUST STOP! The members of the House and Senate must stop padding their pockets with taxpayer money! It is time to return Ethics, Morals, Honesty, Civility and COMMON SENSE to American Politics. If YOU, our elected officals, are unable to meet these demands, WE THE PEOPLE will elect individuals who will!
Why is this important?
Members of Congress will get more lucrative pensions than new federal employees under a little-known provision in the bill that extends payroll tax relief and unemployment insurance.
Congressmen will retain a luxurious benefit that lets them retire years earlier than federal workers, without any reduction in their pension.
They will be able to retire at age 50 with 20 years of service without the significant penalty most federal employees receive for retiring early.
Federal employees’ pension will be reduced by 50 percent for retiring early while the congressman will be able to retire years earlier and start receiving their full pension immediately.
