Politicians’ pensions – it’s the same the whole world over

Here in the US, politicians are up to the same tricks as in Britain – claiming they are paid very little while stuffing hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ money into their unbelievably generous pensions. State politicians in the US have just hugely increased their pensions by linking them to those of a senior judge even though state politicians often work for less than three months a year. In Britain, our MPs “work” for almost 8 months a year yet their pension is so wonderful that you or I would have to put over �55,000 a year into our pension savings to get the same pension as our MP.

It’s the same the whole world over – politicians are lying, greedy thieves linng their pockets with our money and living a life of luxury that most of can probably hardly even imagine.
