RIVER CITIES’ READER
— Dead People Can’t Collect Fat Pensions – Rich Miller (DIERSEN:
Ever-increasingly, everyone who is in line to get a pension or is getting a
pension is demonized, denigrated, and condemned. I am not happy at all that for
the rest of my life, I will be ever-increasingly demonized, denigrated, and
condemned for getting a Civil Service Retirement System pension.)
https://www.rcreader.com/commentary/dead-people-cant-collect-pensions
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
writer threatened mass assassinations for pretty much everyone who receives a
state government pension, including survivors and heirs. To avoid this fate,
the author demanded in the form letter that the pension actuarial tables be
changed and the state’s constitution be amended to remove the pension
protection clause before instituting a graduated income tax. The writer also
demanded unspecified “cap$ and clawback$ for outrageous$ pension
payout$” and local government consolidation. He or she also demanded the
end of pension double-dipping and “playing salary games at career’s end to
max out your take.”)
