Again with the flippant remarks that once again miss the point.
Nobody is saying that City or Government workers 'need to be poor' except you.
But the pensions are unsustainable and its not pie-in-the-sky Chicken-Little BS or 'Pension Envy' or any of that.
Municipalities in North America have gone bankrupt because of overly-generous Public Sector pensions.
And if I've said this once I've said it a million times: Its unsustainable. So our choices are to either fix the system as it cannot operate for much longer in its current form or....the people counting on these pensions will have to deal with whatever happens when they can no longer honour their obligations.
