marcus you still haven't answered my question, just a kind reminder.
I know that California is one of the least tax friendly states.
what does the difference in state taxes (percentage wise not including the fact that incomes are higher in California) represent as a fraction of the higher cost of living ?
A small fraction, no ?
He has never answered my question either. "Why should government pensions be higher than what SS would provide?"
They just do not want public sector employees to use the power of the state to gain compensation above what is available to the similarly skilled private sector tax payers.
Isn't the job market a market ? And why aren't you a cop or a teacher if it's such an awesome deal ?
As I've said many times, police or teachers pensions are simply a form of compensation. If it was all paid in the form of salary, you wouldn't have this complaint.
That is great compensation for a kindergarten teacher, even for California, not to mention the lifetime pension benefit.
Had I known then what I know now - I would have been a fireman
B.A.C.A.H. saysThat's hilarious, Marcus
I know that California is one of the least tax friendly states. My point is that when you compare the cost of living in California to the cost of living in say Nevada, what does the difference in state taxes (percentage wise not including the fact that incomes are higher in California) represent as a fraction of the higher cost of living ?
A small fraction, no ?
both super entitled trying to fuck others over for personal gain
But police, or public school teacher is far less of a sweet deal.
True, but then I'm not sure that teaching kindergarden for 40 years is a walk in the park.
IF only people were thinking more about getting private sector wages up, rather than having public sector wages lowered then I might believe the idiots really were in favor of MAGA.
California is now officially the least educated state in the country
More and more infrastructure money in the General Fund is being diverted to pensions.
now too many people look at their compensation with envy.
I wonder. How many readers of this website, Patrick himself included, aspire that their kids stay in California?
