					<description><![CDATA[1. What is a RABWUS? Is that a typo, or is there a new acronym in your tiny angry lexicon?

2. If you&#039;re so important, then why would you keep a dialog going with a worthless troll such as myself?

3. Where can I find your &quot;writing&quot;s -- or are they unpublished?

You are a full blown idiot TCS, I do want I want when I want, and the last thing I am after is to a public office. I have been on planning commissions, and financial review boards, sat on juries, after having been a business owner there is nothing about government that appeals to the rational mind. 

  You are the one trapped in a &quot;RAGWUS Bunker&quot; my friend. I travel the world writing from Barcelona, Paris, London, Milan, Rome, Mexico City, Tokyo, and Perth just to keep your blood pressure up, it lets others know that the icky feelings they have as to why their tax dollars are doing nothing to improve their lives is because it is being given to the RAGWUS feeders to improve only their lot in life, while the private sector citizens are made to pay more for less and then &quot;fees&quot; on top of that for the new RABWUS tax, &quot;full cost recovery,&quot; another RAGWUS ruse.  :)]]></description>

And there in lies the rub TCS. When a dishonest cartel,(the RAGWUS), is running the show and owns the politicians the only recourse is non-violent revolution.
  RAGWUS feeders do not work for their money, you have built a scam codified by law to give an appearance of truth and justice, yet it is only a façade of lies filled with spiking, buy-ins, phony last second promotions, DROP programs, and over site controlled by the public unions. 

  As a person that has lived in California I can see the deterioration of the state the RAGWUS has wrought, as a higher and higher percentage of tax dollars has been diverted to the pockets of the feeders, it has now reached over 90%, the infrastructure is not in the shape of New York, Chicago, Cleveland.  :)]]></description>

So why don&#039;t you stop complaining and run for office to &quot;fix&quot; it? Or back someone that will? In a rep democracy if your electeds vote to approve the compensation and you can&#039;t get your kooky minority views codified, well....ah...er....Duncey....you&#039;re outta luck little buddy.........Seems like you have the passion and energy to do &quot;SOMETHING&quot; other than live in the bunker, watch Faux News, and type on blogs?]]></description>

So---You confirm it yet again little buddy...&quot;no pensions above 50k&quot;. Well, you&#039;ll have a hard time making that law and denying that two parties may contract for compensation in conformity with statutes and Constitutional law is, I guess, abrogated in your dream world.

What other contracts between people would you seek to outlaw?  

I have never in ANY post I have EVER made said &quot;i deserve&quot;, I said &quot;they earned&quot;. There is a dif. These employees did the American thing--- they contracted for work for money, they did the work and in our system they get paid. 

In a representative democracy you can change the laws to a point easily but the burden is on you. So far it seems like all you do is complain. Why don&#039;t you get on the city council? Or run for congress????

Until then....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]]></description>

IT doesn&#039;t matter how big it is, the rub is that it is being used to pay huge pensions to RAGWUS feeders that have rigged the system to enrich themselves at taxpayers expense.  :)]]></description>

We have been talking local politics here TCS, not federal, but you have never tried to have a serious discussion at any time, your entire drama is &quot;I deserve.&quot;
  TCS, you have been attacking anyone that puts forth any argument short of agreeing with anything the RAGWUS does. I have written on many occasions that RAGWUS members deserve pensions, just not pensions above $50,000 a year, or three to 20 times what a SS recipient receives. And the spiking is criminal in the PS cabal, phony injuries, fake ptsd, carpal tunnel, bad back, hip from getting in and out of their car, the list is laughable. OSHA would shut down any industry with the number of on the job injuries that PS submits. 
  Qualifications for a LE job is a GED and then the completion of training from a POST accredited school which is equal to a sixth grade education. 

  Sure the job can be dangerous, but so is driving to work, working an oil derrick, steel, construction, fishing, timber, and about forty other occupations that are more dangerous than any PS job and most don&#039;t receive any compensation close to what you RAGWUS feeders are pulling down. 

  As I have written many times PS workers deserve a pension, but not at taxpayers expense and not how the RAGWUS has set things up. I base this on the fact that RAGUWS PS people are working for the taxpayers with a medium household income of $51,000 a year and demanding anywhere from twice to ten times that amount on their checks and the demanding even more at retirement, and add endless COLA&#039;s and medical to the pot also. 

  So I still say, RAGUWS feeders in every case are over paid, underworked, over-benefited, and grossly over pensioned when compared with the people they are screwing over, and that would be the taxpayer whom is  footing the bill.  :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t you think that fed law enforcement folks with 30 plus years in deserve 55k a year pension?

I think they do. Why do you think they don&#039;t? Its a dangerous job. It requires a college education. It has difficult hours and work locations. They pay into the pension fund.

And you honestly don&#039;t think they deserve the pension? On what could you possibly base that opinion?]]></description>
