thieves and liars, members , ministers, severance pay, lobbyist, judges, mayors, councilors, directors, judges, etc. All this raptor ever to take everything for them as they make the laws, and we small, small people he loves us so much. They ask to see their happiness by charging more. Not knowing manage our pensions and our future, we exploit their offers to the maximum, by giving and forcing us to admit that all these deficits are of our own mistakes. The real culprits is you and me. Long live democracy rich making us poorer|.

QuebecLiberal Party government of Quebec tabled Bill 3 of pensions of municipal employees. These pension plans covering 172,000 Quebecers, 50 000 pensioners currently facing unfunded liabilities of $ 3.9 billion. The bill aims to correct this situation, allegedly because taxpayers can not afford such plans.
Two important measures to reduce the cost of the plans are set out in the bill. First, the basic cost of the plans should be limited to 18% of salary (20% for firefighters and police officers). Then, the plans will be funded 50% by employees and 50% by cities. The logic of elected officials and the National Assembly: municipal employees must make sacrifices to relieve taxpayers and a plan costing 18% of salary, funded 50/50 is "reasonable".
The Pension Plan of Elected Municipal Officers
Municipal officials pay only 6.15% of their salary to their pension plan. City, funded by taxpayers, for its part, has to pay 20.73% of salary in the pension plan. The pension cost of our elected officials is therefore 26.88% of their salaries, or 50% more expensive than the limit of 18% that want to impose their elected municipal employees.
In addition, their plan is funded 77% by the taxpayer, an elected municipal paying only 23% of his retirement. It is much more advantageous financing 50/50 imposed on municipal employees by Bill 3. Régis Labeaume and Denis Coderre, who argue that their municipal employees are too generous pension plans, should first look their own plan.
The Pension Plan of the members of the National Assembly
Members of the National Assembly for their pay 9% of their earnings to their pension plan. According to an expert committee, which has qualified plan "Ferral," the MPs contributions represent only 21% of the cost of their pensions. Taxpayers pay 79% of the MPs pension plan, an unreasonable amount according to the logic behind the imposition of the 50/50 funding foreseen Bill 3.
This also means that the MP pension plan costs 42.86% of their salary. This is 2.4 times higher than the maximum of 18% provided the bill 3. Before adopting Bill 3 and to slash pensions of municipal employees, members should ask if their own plan respects the ability of taxpayers to pay.
Justified anger
The bill will decrease 3 working conditions and retirement of municipal employees. So we see the scroll Charbonneau commission of politicians and their friends who have met the pockets of taxpayers' money to see these same politicians seek significant sacrifices to municipal employees to relieve taxpayers rings false. Especially since these elected officials refuse to make any sacrifice despite the fact that they benefit pension plans much more advantageous. In these circumstances, I understand the sacrifice of being angry at the hypocrisy of those who want to impose sacrifices.
