"You think anyone making over $35,000 a year is a fat cat if the money comes from taxpayers. " No at all. I think that if they take a job for $35k a year they should not cry about it if they took it becasue after 20 years they get $30k a year in retirement + full benefits.

A lot of retirees have lost a whole lot of money on investments in the last decade. A classic red herring

Again, look at the members on this very board who can afford fancy fishing vacations outside the US. Most have never worked for the government.
