Reply to comment by ScienceWasLove in Pennsylvania Makes Progress Toward Public Employee Pension Sustainability by greenhousecrtv

they should raise starting salaries and let teachers have their money immediately instead of locking it up for years. Teachers don’t even pay the maximum social security benefit cap. The more people that rely on social security the better support it will get. When teachers and mailmen and other government employees carve themselves out with special pensions, that creates a division in the working class that makes it harder to mount a unified fight against special interests and big business

Some principals and most superintendents and some other central office admin hit the max benefit. If they were capped, there would be money to go around.

Not much more. It’s the shape of a pyramid with only a few at the top.
