Most of these “lavish retirements” are at the state, local, and city level. There is next to nothing Trump can do about them.

No memory and no imagination?

The "lavish retirements" can be taxed retroactively, like Clinton introduced taxing Social Security benefits in 1993...

So, you are advocating that the federal government impose retroactive tax income at confiscatory rates that it determines is too large?

Great idea. Why not have the federal government place confiscatory taxes on homes that are too large? Etc.

people are losing their minds. on a conservative site, people are advocating the use of the federal tax code to punish people that they dislike. the use of the awesome authority of the central government as a tool of revenge.

a cretinous idea if there ever was one.

this is exactly the same thing as using the irs as a political weapon.
