Are public employees human beings?
If they are, then, according to our Founding Fathers and the 5th and 14th Amendments to the US Constitution, they have natural rights to life, liberty and property.
This fact seems to be ignored by the legislature, the Public Employees Retirement System, local elected and unelected public officials and the Unions.
Doesn’t the employee own their mind and body?
When compensated for use of their mind and body, isn’t the money thus earned their property?
If the above is true, then it seems proper that the employee and retiree be allowed to control their money. That means they should decide how the money is invested and if they wish to be part of an employee based retirement system or even choose another use for their money.
