Retired Representatives Still Raping Tax Payers

First of all, I got this lead from a message board at www.connellsville.com/discuss .

According to Pennlive, the recently retired King James Shaner received a lump sum payment of $153,000 and is receiving $4257 per month from the tax payers.

This is amazing and disgusting when you consider King James was a state rep for only 12 years and that he NEVER wrote, introduced nor sponsored a SINGLE piece of meaningful legislation!

Also, the most he "earned" (I use the word earned very loosely) as a legislator was about $72,000 per year, so he is receiving a pension of $51,084 per year.

What job in the private sector will give you a pension that is 71% of your salary?

Even the military makes you stay in over 20 years to receive a crappy low 50%.

On top of his $4257 per month from being a retired legislator, the word on the street says that he is getting around $2000 per month as a retired teacher.

Of course, with the states amazing open records laws (sarcasm), we can't find the exact amount, that means King James is raping the tax payers for over $6000 per month, for an approximate yearly TAX FREE pension of $72,000!!!!!!

Is your behind hurting yet? Don't worry it will when you find out that these retirements "entitle" King James Shaner to FREE healthcare for the rest of his life and his wife gets to share in his windfall, also.

If we could eliminate these crazy pensions and obscene benefits, we could finally eliminate property taxes FOREVER!!!!!

We won't be able to do it, if we continue to elect people who are more worried about getting rich, instead of being worried about the people.

Until Next Time...Have A Great Day!!!
