Did you know...Teachers unions can opt out of Social Security.
At least they can in KY. Have a private pension invested in the stock market.
Teachers and trial lawyers are the back bone of the Democrat Party.
They deny the rest of us, what they embrace.
I've seen an old NEA mag that critcizes pension plans that invest in the stock market as dangerous. They prefer the taxpayer backed, employee contributed to "defined-benefit" pension, not the "risk" of 401 K type programs. This is actually something the union is warning its members against because it would take the taxpayers off the hook in backing up pension plans when they fail in the future.
The teachers in Colorado can do the same....there's another State too.
Krista Kafer, formerly of the Heritage Foundation, wrote some stuff about the options.
