I was a state employee and I can relate.

Almost anyone in my department could wander and out anytime they felt like it.

If I were a minute late, the jerk boss was headed to the parking lot looking for me.

Most would do bare minimum, find sports to watch on the computer, line up side jobs, and drink coffee.

There were a couple of us working people in the whole crowd.

Temporary pay cut, to appease the masses, followed by a relief bill later to fix the shortfall. With interest of course.

That’s the wife. 90 WPM typing, handles 16 phone lines, proofreads stuff from people making 10X what she does,
and takes her job WAY too seriously always giving 100 percent; but it’s OK, some fucktard faggot inbred fatasses who’ve never done an honest day’s work in their lives think it’s a great idea to cut her salary by 25-50 percent and fire half of the people doing the actual work (of course they are the first to whine like a bitch when the phone isn’t answered or the pothole filled)

Try taxing California state worker pensions 10% and putting this into the general budget and see what happens. Make that 25%.

They already tax them. Taxed refugees who fled the state until the Supremes said they couldn't.

Lots of bigger corps are no better.

If someone wants to get pissed about state workers all being blood suckers, they are probably also the kind of retard who would bitch at a McDonald’s employee for making too much money because the CEO made 15 million.

Thanks! So you do think the State of California can tax its retirees pensions when they remain in California? Impose 10-20% tax on them.

He can’t impose anything beyond what the law allows. He can however ask the legislators to impose reductions. If he doesn’t care about being re-elected.
