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.

You are wrong. If they pay more into their own pension the less tax money that is spent on pensions. The pensions plan is a ponzi scheme kept afloat by the tax payer. You make the current investors pay more, the less tax money you need to pay for it. It is pretty simple math.
Why do you want the tax payer to be the only one paying for the pension? You are letting 5% of the population directly hinder the other 95%.
A higher rate for everything to the corporations?
