The following message was a paid political announcement sponsored by the AFL-CIO and the public relations firm of Engels, Marx & Lenin LLP!
Big difference between average American worker getting $400-600 per month pension after 30 years of work.....and teacher, union worker or civil servant literally getting thousands each month, free medical and the life of Riley...all from ma and pa taxpayer on the brink of losing their home and living on social secuity and tiny pension!!!! Tax 'em (those that worked that is) and let 'em weep, the Democratic motto. Can't wait for 2012 elections and new wave a fiscal responsibility.
And you're the 'joe average' american? Working here? Your pension is roughly 1.1% of your salary times the cumulative years employed but only averaged over the last 3 years. So, if you are here 25 years that's more than $25K/year retirement or $2K month. As far as the bulk of the teachers and unions, they get similar packages as you. Same as most gov't workers.
But, don't let a few facts get in the way of your distorted view.
And your job of taking food to the nurses and secretaries is so important. Must be nice to live in denial.
I think it is hysterical that Obama said that he could and would pay for prescriptions! Who in the Senate or Congress pays for prescriptions with the health care coverage they have? Who do you think asks their physician friends for samples of the products that we provide? Just a thought!
