For many decades, state and local government employees gave up getting

You are delusional. Even in a right to work state like Florida, the
state and local government employees make a salary commensurate or
better than private sector workers and in a lot of cases much better
PLUS a fat benefit package that your private sector guy does not get.

The retired cop across the street from me makes about $70,000 ... TAX
FREE and gets insurance.

Oh, dear. An almost reasonable retirement. Maybe you should work to
eliminate that pension or at least cut it in half, eh? If you did, why,
there would be more money to be grabbed by the Romney crowd, eh?

My private sector pension is about a third of that and I have to pay
taxes on it. It would not break my heart if I was a citizen of that
northern city and they trimmed a little off that pension ... and my
tax bill.

That's really funny. The retired cop's employer negotiated a contract
with his union and you want to bust that agreement because he has an
almost decent pension from his former employer and you don't.
