I agree totally. For an even more obscene example, look at the indexed
pensions received by all MPs. Civil servants also get indexed pensions.
Civil servants are forced to make large contributions to their pension
funds, but of course general tax revenues are always around to take up
the slack. MPs do not make such large contributions, and consequently
their pensions are totally inexcusable, in my opinion.

Insurance people get the most upset when I discuss this with them,
but I have yet to meet ANYONE who agrees with this setup. Is there
anyone on the net who has a prevailing argument? I would like to
hear it!
