The teachers union is next. <br /><br />There's a shrinking pool of employees to support a growing number of retirees. The math just doesn't add up any more.<br /><br />Folks just can't take much more paying taxes or you lose your house.<br /><br />The car and steel unions actually gave back when faced with losing their jobs.

Is it jealously or ignorance? Reminds me of the daily rants bashing teachers and other government workers who receive pensions.<br /><br />Let me ask you people something. If YOU were promised a pension, would you give it back? Instead of whinning about what others have earned, why not instead fight to better YOURSELF! Just because many private sector workers lost their pensions in 401 K scams doesn't mean everyone else should have to give their's up. If you people think it's such a good deal, run for office, get re-elected for 30 years and get it for yourself. Oh yeah, you can't even win a local Phoenixville election so I guess that is out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888510041198780859.post-43184225994152720502010-03-08T10:54:15.371-05:002010-03-08T10:54:15.371-05:00They're just about all thieves.
