Reply #1: My mother-in-law and sister-in-law have told me how the public wants to cut the pensions of public

[county worker]

workers because the pensions paid are too high. Now I know that they are just repeating what they heard from media reports but I think the reports are not stating what the public opinion is but rather the reports are trying to create the public opinion and they are doing a good job.

The trouble is my in-laws don't see it that way. Being sheeple they go along with what ever they hear.

I would like us all to work to raise the standard of living of the working class not bring it down. I don't see how with the way most people believe the bull shit they hear from the media we can ever turn around the raise to the bottom.

My mother-in-law on the one hand agrees that pensions and salaries of public sector workers are too high and then tells me that the coming generation will be the first that will have a lower standard of living then their parents. My question to her is, "who's responsible for that?"
