Texas governor, presidential candidate, and National Dumbass Rick Perry called the Wall Street bailout the “single biggest act of theft in American History.”
Speaking of theft…
Did you know that Rick Perry collects a Texas State retirement while he’s collecting his governor’s salary? That’s right, kiddies – while he’s cutting Texas state education funding, and blasting federal employees for being overpaid, this clown is collecting state retirement pay and a state salary together simultaneously. While this is perfectly legal in Texas, it is most certainly not enjoyed by the huge majority of workers, government or otherwise.
What’s maddening is that Cretin Boy finds this perfectly normal: “I don't find that to be out of the ordinary.” He also said one would be foolish not to start collecting when eligible. While that may well be true (foolish to not collect), it’s dumbfounding to me that he’s doing it with a clear conscience. Mr. Perry is clearly in this public service gig for himself.
Annual Retirement: $92,376
His pension is computed using his whopping 5 years of military service, his state service, and his age – all of which need to total 80 before he can start drawing a pension…while working, of course.
Wow. Fucking amazing! Screw everyone else – we’re a slashin’ and a cuttin’ and a layin’ people off, but I’ll collect $92K+ in a pension that, despite its legality, is really quite heinous.
Anyway…that’s my rant du jour.

There seem to be a lot of megalomaniac wackos just like Perry. They don't mind reaping a windfall from taxpayers, while simultaneously cutting everything else down to the bone.
Yep...and the morons who vote for 'em don't see that the fuckers are in it for themselves and Big Business. It's all about power and money. Fuck the people.
