Congress,
Give up your pensions before you decide to dip into ours!
Signed,
We the people of the United States of America
Why is this important?
With all this talk about cutting into State worker's and now Railroad worker's pension funds to feed the political machine, the question must arise: What about Politician's pensions?
Anyone in the workforce, be it State, Union, or otherwise, pays into their own pension fund which they can not draw from until they reach retirement age. This is NOT an entitlement for them. Politicians, on the other hand, receive a lifetime pension for serving a single term (4 to 6 years in most cases) which is funded solely on our tax dollars!
It is time we stand up and demand that these "public servants" give up their pensions first!
