Then find someone willing to pay the price that will bring you. I certainly won't line up to pay that rate. Oh, please. Everybody else has requirements of at least 30 years of service before a full pension. And your atbreastude that these things are a "right" in a free market economy is nuts. You earn what someone is willing to give you. Right after 2001's person attacks when none of your buddies were losing jobs, tens of thousands in the securities industry alone, and about 9 percent of all NYC residents, were out of work. Did you give them your sympathy? Did you give them any money to supplement the $405 a week in unemployment they were earning? I strongly doubt it. If you abuse it, you will be. Union Law BreakersMayor Bloomberg don't point your finger at me and call me a lawbreaker! Your MTA Board are the Law Breakers. PUNKS RIDE FOR FREE ON OUR BUSES AND NO ONE DOES... You're one of the few. I wish we could all replace them tomorrow and I hope they do end up losing big time. There are lots of people itching to take their place as evidenced by the strong turnouts every testing period. I agree with you on the half-fare, actually. That wasn't fiscally prudent and shouldn't have been done, whether or not this was a contract renewal year. It was just bad policy. But again, $1 billion in a system that's as large as the MTA truly is a small amount of money.
