WOW a whole 10%, and they chose that job to strap on a gun,
My husband was self employed and paid into SS and paid in 100% to anything we could put into retirement, and 100% of our medical insurance, what you could get or afford, most of the time it was with a $10,000 yearly deductible and not paying the reduced dr fee we paid what the Dr charged...like just a regular visit was $150 we paid that not the $50 that the your insurance company agreed to pay and no one give us any pension after 20, 30 or 40 years of working, and 40 was the amount of years working to retire
Oh and it was my taxes that pay for the teachers and police officers salary and pension.
Wow. I guess you don't have any relatives that work in protective services. It is not just about strapping on a gun. How about when someone with HIV ot Hep C bites an officer and you have to take a cocktail of medicine for 6 months and pray you are not infected. Last year, a man ran over his 5 year old childs foot, guess who has to find the toes. In NJ, right before Corzine left office, he raided the pension plan for $200,000,000.00 and pumped it into dying Goldman Sachs one week b4 they crashed. The state does not match the pension contributions. Bottom line, the police need to work another 5 years before they can pension. Each municipality and state functions differently in regard to pension and to make a statement as you did is one-sided and uninformed Also, police in our town pay a $400.00 a month co-pay for health insurance. The newspapers love to and report things that make people mad but the things that they choose not to report would make your skin crawl.
