Government “workers” now retired got the benefit of stealing our tax dollars for decades while doing absolutely nothing productive or useful. It’s time to cut off their big pensions and tell them they have sponged off of us long enough. As for public schools, well, we don’t need them. It’s time to just let taxpayers keep their money and let parents decide how to educate their kids —and for how long. After the 7th grade it’s almost all indoctrination in those government schools. Parents should be free to skip all that.
I wish...
As the teachers’ unions have changed the jobs from part-time classification (which they are, and historically were paid as such) to “full-time” classification (with ridiculous pay and benefits for 180 days, six hours per day), this pension problem is growing quickly. They have single-handedly ruined NJ as employers and taxpayers flee the scam; this year we were once again the highest in the nation for property taxes, 3/4 of which goes to our public schools (read: teachers).
