They’re not going to shift teacher pensions to to the municipalities. The money just isn’t there.

What’s going to send us closer to the edge are the Trump tax increases. They may be larger than the property taxes. Stay tuned.

Yes, we all know it’s coming. It was beyond corrupt for those ridiculous pensions to be promised once salaries became on a par for the private sector.

Unfunded pensions will not be paid. Best case scenario is that you get the same thing social security recipients get, if that. Americans will revolt before federal tax dollars go to pay tens of thousands of do-nothing public employees enormous pensions, three or four times what we pay soldiers who come home completely disabled from war.

This is why democracy sucks. You will always get something like a democratic party that forms coalitions of identity groups to steal from everybody else.

That’s why human nature sometimes sucks. Democracy is demonstrably better than the alternatives.

No - they won't - Americans won't turn away from their God.

Middle class Americans will take their government cheese and praise the "kindness" and "empathy" of their progressive overloads.....Meekness begets enslavement...fuck it - most Americans deserve to be slaves...fucking proles..

It's not, though. The only thing demonstrable about democracy is that it always blows up in the same fashion.

The propensity for fairness and equity is what will destroy this push to federalize public union cash grabs.

The GOP could just run national ads featuring disabled veterans living in hovels on 35k per year, with both legs blown off and severe mental health disorders from the ordeal. Then they can ask why some low-performing school teacher in Long Island deserves a 100k pension for the rest of her life at tax payer expense when a man who sacrificed his entire life for this country gets only 35k.

This pension scheme is fucking disgusting, really. All you have to do is expose it to everybody and they will turn against it. No, some schoolteacher does not deserve an almost six figure pension while disabled veterans skirt above the poverty line.

Nothing exposes the democratic party really like this pension debacle. It shows how they are incapable of governing and how they form coalitions of voters to essentially steal from everybody else. It's fundamentally unjust and fucking ugly.

The founders were correct in that landowners could govern themselves...they should have put better guards in though to stop Marxists...vote should never have been expanded to non-landowners....perhaps voting rights should have to be purchased (since we're no longer in an agrarianism society). Proles should simply not be allowed to vote.

Problem is - the Vet will be white and the teacher will be brown - Liberal whites and minorities will probably be glad at such a sight...fuck that white devil...hope he stokes out.
