The John got his......to 'ell with anyone else.

What did John get that you didn't?


John didn't "get" anything. He earned it, based on the contract he
had for his service.

Sorta like a union.



John's problem is that he resents other government employees who get
benefits.


I have a problem with a lot of government employees pensions also. Spend
20 years in the military, transferred around the world, maybe shot at, and
you get 50% of your last years salary. Spend 4 years in Congress, and high
pay and get retirement of 100% for life. Be a public employee in at least
California and you get 3% per year of your last years gross. Includes
vacation pay that is accrued, overtime, etc.

Wozers.... we are only entitled to 2% for each year and they figure out your average salary from your last five years to base your pension on. No wonder y'all can live so high on the hog.

Don, how many overseas or combat assignments did you have? How many times did you
have to pull up stakes and move? My son-in-law returned a couple months ago from his
third overseas tour - all without the wife and kids.

That extra 1/2 of 1% they get over your pension is more than deserved.
