Status: offline 		New pension law could force municipalities to raise property taxes 60% While most emphasis has been on Speaker Madigan's pension reform law setting up for later retirements and less cushy pensions for new firemen and law enforcement hires, little attention has been focused on the shift in pension fund pay=in burden that local city councils argue will now suddenly fall on their already cash-strapped budgets.  Chicago's Mayor Daley blasted the reform bill Quinn signed on Thursday, predicting it will cause Chicago to hike its property taxes up to 60%. /snip

If you live in another state-  your turn will come.    ...60% increase?  Yay!   We love high taxes!

You are again trying to divert from giving a direct answer to my question.

In case you forgot, let me ask it again.

Do you think that pensions that were promised as part of a pay package should not have to be paid?

Who has managed this money?  Why is it MY problem if they did it wrong?

Did I not tell you that people were robbed of their pensions?

Happy shit for a  numb skull populace.

I really dont care about pensions... I have silver... which has no counter party risk.  No fat finger flash crashes.  Why should I pay before people support the federal reserve.

I wont.   Period.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

Good thing he made some good investments huh?

We are at the max here.

Status: offline 		What does that have to do with the topic? People were screwed out of pension plans right and left. Maybe, just maybe, if the voters took more interest in what was happening behind the scenes, instead of their own personal wallets, this might never have happened. Then again, it probably would have. Its criminal that no one is being held accountable. HOWEVER, those who are due their pensions did nothing wrong. They should not be penalized. Yet, even they are by the tax hike. See how that works?
