How to remove elected officials pensions?

Question

A major flaw with government today is that we have career politicians. When you run for an elected office it should be because you want to change the current state. It seems now a days that people that run for congress and senate run and do nothing and solve nothing. Which brings me to this. Why do people that we elect recieve pensions? Just because they served doesn't mean we should have to pay for them to live well after they are done. What if they did a terrible job? Taxpayers still have to flip the bill for their pension. Thats not right if you ask me. If anyone agrees with me I would love to see what the public thinks, and if it is similar how could you get something like this on a ballot for the general public to vote on, so we could save our country money and cut down on the amount government has to shell out for ex-public servants? suggestions....I would love to hear them.

Answer 1

I agree... we should force them to get rid of pensions by making it a national campaign issue.

Answer 2

Like I say the politicians are supposed to be public servants.

They are not any longer, we are their servants and they have the power, the glory and the control of everything we can and cannot do and all of our money. They get bigger and better off and we get smaller and worse off.
