"Then, there's the Iowa retirement system that allows an officer with 22 years of service and age 55 to retire at 66% of his final pay, or additional service credit of 2% per year up to 82%."
That's just the problem with public employee unions. Why should the taxpayers have to pay some bum not to work? If, after 22 years his feet are too flat or his potbelly is too big to function as a police officer, let him go on a diet and work out. Or, give him a job pushing commas with a pencil for a few years until he's 65.
What unions are all about is taking more money from the employer than they are willing to earn by legitimate work, making either the public at large or a company's customers pay the difference. Some call that stealing.
Now that there is the definition of "hard ass"
So any cop or fireman who does is twenty years and retires is a pot bellied slob who doesn't deserve to retire until 65?
Wow, not only that, I just learned I'm a thief to boot, a undignified extortionist who is unqualified to make a legitimate living.
Damn, Jimmy Hoffa knock you on your ass back in the day?
