Then pensions have NEVER been funded. |
The elite have been taxed 98% before, it could happen again if the rest of the classes would start yelling for it.
The union money is our tax dollars either way... paying .5 or all of it, is still our tax dollars, either way. Passing the cost onto the people, is still our tax dollars paying for it. Either way, our tax dollars pay 100% of the cost, directly or indirectly with every single employee of the State or Fed.
All you're doing... is forcing the money into the peoples hands which will have to pay a higher rate for everything to the corporations. Which is our tax dollars, paying more, directly to the super corps, which they are pushing for this so they have more power and you have less.
Yes, the pension funds used to be in positive cash flow... it's only in the last 10 years they started to get hammered.
