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?

What I stated is not wrong, just like what you stated isn't wrong.
But what you're ignoring is you/me our taxes pay these people, either way. And if those people pay all or none of the pension, it's no different than the union or your tax dollars doing it directly.
It's still your tax dollars, paying 100% of it all, all the time, no mater what direction the money takes.
Every State worker has a massive insurance policy on them, once they die the State and Corps collect on those insurance policies, paying back everything that was ever paid to them. The problem is, that money doesn't go back into the pension fund, it goes to build other projects, just like profits made on pension accounts for the State.
The States are in debt because THEY badly managed OUR tax dollars. Changing this, will not correct the current problem we are having. The States will still continue to badly manage things and later will come ask the people to give up even more... and one day, they'll ask you to give your SS after you've paid into it.
