Pensions
Heard on news radio this morning that a local politico is proposing that state reps who violate the law be denied their pensions. My question is this: Why do we give pensions to state representatives in the first place? That seems to encourage career politicking and that’s no damn good for anyone, except career politicians.

Maybe to encourage them to retire if their constituents won’t vote them out?

I’m with Uncle on this one. I’m not guaranteed any type of retirement unless I pay for it, so why in the world should I pay for theirs too? To heck with ’em I say. Pull all of their pension’s, then it’s a non-issue.
