Time for us to stop funding their gravy train

THE remuneration levels enjoyed by those at the top of the public sector, in politics, by the judiciary and throughout some of the commercial semi-states are nothing short of scandalous.

And when they retire, the real bonanza arrives, courtesy of the taxpayer.

Worse still, as the people of this country are being forced to accept greater austerity measures in an effort to get the economy back on an even keel, those entrusted with ensuring that we are protected from such calamities demand the rest of us reward them handsomely for their failures. And being the gullible idiots that we are, we just hand over the dosh and do nothing about it.
