You are obviously wiser than I, but I am sure she will drive me to do it. It won't be long before she unleashes her wrath at me. She quickly and consistently loves to take shots at anything I post here and then plays the victim game.

Sorry - I was busy laughing hysterically at the thought of poor abused you, the victim

So: the conclusion of the thread is that Evil Union Toll Workers, most of whom make $40-$50,000 for breathing in car fumes all day, shouldn't be allowed to work overtime to get up to $80,000 a year (even though only 27 out of 147 work those hours) or $100,000 a year (only 1 earns that much) because .... well, it's just not right!

They shouldn't be allowed to earn so much money!

Even though allowing them overtime is far cheaper than hiring more employees, even minimum wage ones. Even though their jobs are being phased out by automated lanes. They should be paid minimum wage, and no pensions! Because the taxpayer is stuck for that ... even though the worker pays the pension, not the taxpayer.

It's all the fault of the Evil Unions.

I forgot to add your constant attempt to shfit what I have said, take some time and read the thread instead of erroneously attempting to shift the debate to support your ridiculous position.

You don't really think that the Port Authority's pension is funded by employees as opposed to taxpayers, do you Rita? You don't really believe that the consistent overtime is necessary and cheaper than hiring new employees, do you Rita?

You might want to stop talking out of your azz (though I know that is the only direction that wind comes out of you) and take the New York State Comptroller's word for it instead of mine.

And he is even one of your beloved Democrats! You might want to get your little pissboy to help you to get the facts straight as well.

Hey, Rocket Scientist? The above is not a tribute to you. So no "attempt to shift what you said".

You did said, about toll workers making $40,000 - $55,000 a year: " ... catering to the unions ... these ridiculously bloated salaries and pensions that we simply cannot afford."

Yeah. Those demon toll workers, "ridiculously bloated salaries", stealin' your monies.

No, not at all, just against all the sane people who posted on this thread with intelligent comments. I suppose quoting me with your fallacious post was a clue it wasn't directed at me in any way.

Enjoy reading up and getting some facts, Wile E.

what is iit that you don't understand about employees contributing 9% of their gross every week toward retirement....i guess you don't pay fica...kind of the same thing for private sector folks. I think they call it social security
