CalPERS Aristocracy - Public Pension Reform Parody Video

Thousands of retired government employees are getting pensions of over $100,00 per year, and us taxpayers have to pay for them. See how it happened. And see how they live.

This a paroday in the spirit of those "Downfall" parodies where I got the original idea.

Thanks to GodzillaPERS for giving me advice about editing and uploading this video. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2WxwKcCkNY

as well as protect ...
as well as protect government workers foolish? enough to trust government with their retirement. Greece her we come...,

Excellent- ...
Excellent-Government workers are so spoiled and have no idea... Most are multi-millionaires upon retirement based on common sense actuarial computations. Ludicrous... Government workers pay no tax - they are net recipients of taxes. Government workers are paid above market wages. The private sector must get someone to agree to pay. A man with a gun and a badge does collections for gov. Government defined benefit plans should be outlawed to protect those who compete in the free market? as

A prime example LA County for a Room Addition 475sf with a single bath 12 years ago was around $626.00 for planning and permits fees is now at $3300.00 and that's not even the worst part! Throw in 3 months of County Bureaucracy before you can even start the project, I had to listen to a Senior Building Inspector cry because he had to be out in the? field because of cut backs...as I'm losing my home..WTF? Bust up these Unions!

Thomas Jefferson ...
Thomas Jefferson believed that a good revolution was needed every 200 years...calpers is a prime example of why the revolution is well overdue ?

PERS has to project ...
PERS has to project into the future so the unfunded liablity? would be if every State employee worked 30 years and collected a pension, there may be a problem. It's like buying a new house and you put 10 percent down, you can still make the payments easily but your bank account would have to funded to be able to pay the house off in full. Only 10 percent retire, PERS still has to fund as all of them make a 30 year career, that were the unfunded liability comes from, it's not really there.

This? is good

I think fire ...
I think fire fighters, police, and military deserve a good pension. I'm happy for you guys and hope you all get a good pension someday. I think our bigget finacial? problem as a nation is funding the wars around the world.

really? it's been ...
really? it's been done before. many times. and? much, much better than this.

Ah, the intrepid ...
Ah, the intrepid comedic technique of adding captions to movie scenes. I do believe it was actually humorous for a few weeks in 2006 (remember the re-captioned scenes from the Hitler movie that everyone was emailing around?) What's really funny is to make this unfunny (and wildly inaccurate) drivel, CALPERSTOCRACY or whoever? actually had to sit through that awful Meryl Streep movie. As Nelson Muntz would say: "Ha ha."

still putting? ...
still putting? alternate captions to movie scenes are we? that went out in like 2006. but good for you on Windows Movie Maker

Show this BS to the ...
Show this BS to the thousands of retired secretaries and clerks who have retired with CalPERS and receive a small check monthly. By the way, they pay the entire cost of their health benefits - that have been going up about 10% per year. Oh yes, this is so funny - but it is misinforming the public and is slick nonsense. Payments don't come out of the state treasury. And of course? the employee pays in to the retirement system throughout his or her career.

if you hate someone ...
if you hate someone who has? what you want......would you hate yourself if you had it?

Unfortunately, the ...
Unfortunately, the working grade people who paid into the "retirement accounts" for 20 - 30 or more years do NOT get "big fat pensions"... My husband worked for the federal govt. as a WG-10 (blue collar) for 20 years and after taking out for insurance he got $1,075. a month. The SS was reduced $2 for every $1? of fed. pension.... He crossed over and now I get $531.00 a month..... How is anybody supposed to LIVE on that? Not exactly the "cushy life" that you portray!!

The state of ...
The state of California is broke. The federal govt. will probably have to help them out so they can meet their? obligations.

Bunch of jealous ...
Bunch of jealous cry babies. Get another job if you don't like yours!! Whens the last time you crawled into a burning building or had a gun pointed in your face. Hide behind your computers where you are safe. Change your job cowards, and? just hope you live to see your retirement!!

Just remember your ...
Just remember your home, 401k, savings account, etc, are't worthless because a fireman or cop has a big pension. look to your politicians, bankers etc. because their million dollar bonuses? (still getting them) are ok with you, but not a cops 100,000 pension that he paid for.

Thank Jerry? Brown ...
Thank Jerry? Brown for that and prop13

Don't forget, many ...
Don't forget, many of these pensions are STATE TAX FREE TO BOOT!!! Beautiful. I love this video. Needs to be seen by EVERYBODY, but especially anyone who? can put a stop to it. Thank you Bell CA for brining this to the fore.

I always hear the ...
I always hear the term "social justice" in the media. To me that means that all citizens should be rotated in and out of all govt jobs. ? That would make it fair. As it is now, people stay in high paid do nothing govt jobs for 30 years. That is not fair!! Even our private employers could bring us back to work and lay their family members off for 6 months. Spread the hardship around. Greed and avarice is the rule of the day, so we will all hang seperately, one at a time and alone.

Amazing - it's ...
Amazing - it's nothing but welfare by another name.? I can't see how CA can sustain this - once people understand what's going on, I can't see how it won't create some real divisiveness among classes - especially since taxpayers in the private sector will be paying for their own retirement, AND for these obscene pensions.

Wait till Moonbeam ...
Wait till Moonbeam gets going! It's downhill from here, or as Porky Pig? says, "th.. th.. th.. that's all folks!"

Great job? on this. ...
Great job? on this. Keep them coming.

This video is ...
This video is awesome. Perfectly reflects the reality? of public sector unions in general and Kalifohnia in particular.

Hilarious!!!!!! ?
Hilarious!!!!!! ?

That seene about ...
That seene about not going to medical school: my step uncle is a doctor and worked for a county hospital in california. he got to help the sick and get his CalPERS pension. (he? retired last year with like more than 100% of his salary)

There you have it. ...
There you have it. The real bloodsuckers are not the so-called public aid recipients but they take? on so many forms. I bet you the numbers are equally crazy in Crook County Illinois.

f**king public ...
f**king public sector parasites?

CalPERS paupers. ...
CalPERS paupers. In San Diego, our retired head city librarian made a maximum of $139K salary. ? She now draws from FOUR city pension components that total $227K a year. And that's not counting the value of her 100% fully matched (to 7.5% a year) 401k-type plan (SPSP). I can't find out the current value of that jewel. The moral of this story? Get a San Diego city job!
