Local government employees don't pay FICA? Where? Joel Send a noteboard - 10/06/2011 12:03:49 AM
Most of them decided overly genrous tax payer pensions were better than social security.

I'll be sure to let my mother know she could have opted out as a Texas state employee. I'm sure she'll be as surprised by that as she is that her "overly generous tax payer pension" (the one she passed over private sector jobs making thrice the salary to get, the one the Lege keeps cutting and/or raising the qualifications for in every session) is superior to Social Security.

I'm not informed enough to comment on most of this, but can someone explain that last line to me? Aemon - 08/06/2011 11:25:49 PM 591 Views
just a guess but random thoughts - 08/06/2011 11:40:44 PM 496 Views
Yeah, and I guess that's what I was missing (see my response to Tom). Aemon - 09/06/2011 07:13:00 AM 470 Views
keep in mind it is a legal argument random thoughts - 09/06/2011 01:50:05 PM 452 Views
A lot of the debate from the centered around how many of those people there are. Joel - 10/06/2011 01:15:19 AM 475 Views
It's incredibly different. Tom - 09/06/2011 03:03:07 AM 505 Views
Well. . .sort of. Aemon - 09/06/2011 07:00:30 AM 616 Views
"...the government mandate to have health insurance was unlike any law in American history"... Joel - 09/06/2011 05:24:56 AM 485 Views

Guess what the "I" in FICA is; the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program is insurance Joel - 10/06/2011 12:34:04 AM 621 Views

if you want to opt out just work for a local government random thoughts - 09/06/2011 06:01:06 PM 448 Views

a few high profile cases does not equal "most" in any sense of the word *NM* moondog - 10/06/2011 02:38:26 AM 191 Views
Actually, there's an even more relevant example. Dreaded Anomaly - 09/06/2011 08:01:18 PM 576 Views
That's the best link I've ever seen posted anywhere on the internet. *NM* Macharius - 09/06/2011 08:26:02 PM 184 Views
That's a very flawed example Isaac - 09/06/2011 09:06:24 PM 466 Views
Excellent response.....you hit the nail on the head..... *NM* trzaska2000 - 09/06/2011 09:12:06 PM 202 Views
Did you read the Act itself? Macharius - 10/06/2011 04:04:39 PM 439 Views
Yes, did you get the 'foriegn port' part of sentence, or did you stop reading after the comma? Isaac - 10/06/2011 06:11:27 PM 444 Views

It might help if you clarified what your point is Isaac - 10/06/2011 08:05:30 PM 442 Views
besides it was still just a condition for a specific job not a blanket requirement for breathing random thoughts - 10/06/2011 08:36:07 PM 447 Views
Yes, that would have seemed the core point I thought Isaac - 10/06/2011 09:13:42 PM 454 Views
In other words, this is as "unprecedented" as filibustering Bush judicial nominees (i.e. it's not). Joel - 10/06/2011 12:55:17 AM 447 Views
Oh well. Living in a shit hole country is something I love and a chance to change that is BS. callandor1000 - 12/06/2011 05:21:25 PM 452 Views
