If they are in a public union nobody should be paying for them. They should be buying free meals for the people paying taxes that allow them to retire millionaires at an early age.
Sheesh. Firefighters just saved our Mariposa house in July and I don’t care what union they’re in; if I had a clue which firefighters from where did the deed, I’d LOVE to buy em all steak dinners!!! At the very least.
exactly - whoever did this doesn’t understand how generous firefighter pensions are.
I agree - here in NY State, I get calls from the PBA and State Troopers Assoc. all the time. I tell them - I respect your work, but my small business is struggling under Fed.gov regulations and health care cost goes up several thousand $$ every year, so do taxes. I have no pension and whatever I manage to save gets 0% interest because the Fed is busy buying up government debt to keep government afloat.
Meanwhile, you guys have pay, healthcare, pension, vacation - everything guaranteed.
Their telemarketers have usually hung up on my by that point....
