I’ve reported some horror stories about bureaucrats ripping off taxpayers with lavish compensation packages, including:
- The chief bureaucrat of a low-income California city getting almost $800,000 per year.
- Cops in Oakland getting average compensation of $188,000.
- A Philadelphia bureaucrat, after working only 2-1/2 years, nailing down aguaranteed pension of $50,000 per year.
- A New York school bureaucrat simultaneously getting a $225,000 salary and $300,000 pension.
- California taxpayers being forced to pay a fired bureaucrat $550,000 for unused vacation time.
- An employee of the New Jersey Turnpike system raking in annual compensation of $320,000.
We now have another über-bureaucrat to add to our list.
Here are the key details from the New York Post.
Take your salary cap and shove it. While Gov. Cuomo continues to push a bill that would limit New York school superintendents’ annual salaries to $175,000, Syosset, LI, Superintendent Carole Hankin — the highest paid in the state —has already circumvented the proposed ceiling. Last June, four months after Cuomo first proposed the salary cap, Hankin, 69, quietly inked a five-year contract that guarantees she will receive no less than her current salary— $405,244, The Post has learned. …“This is despicable and gives new meaning to the word ‘chutzpah,’ ” said Desmond Ryan, executive director of the Association for a Better Long Island, a developer’s lobby. “In these difficult economic times, that the school board would even consider this is a disgrace.” …Hankin’s total annual compensation comes to $537,767, including retirement funds and fringe benefits. Expenses include use of a “late-model car” and gas. She can also do outside consulting on her time off. She oversees about 6,600 students in 10 schools, yet her salary is nearly double that of New York City Chancellor Dennis Walcott, who gets $212,614, to watch over 1.1 million kids in 1,700 schools. Hankin’s first deputy, Jeffrey Streitman, rakes in $419,033 in salary and other benefits, but Cuomo’s bill would not apply to underlings. …Joshua Lafazan, an 18-year-old Syosset HS senior running for a seat on the school board, blasts Hankin’s cushy deal and the nine board members he calls her “puppets.”

I have heard it all so many times it’s laughable. If the Federal Reserve Bank could be Deposed, the USA could be Saved. Without the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, America would have Honest Money, and No Politicians to Steal it from you. They would be forced to get a Real Job while they were away from W.DC
Doesn’t look like anyone is listening. But I Bet the Prez is. Mr. Obama, did you know that under the War Powers Act, and the Federal reserve Act, You don’t have to follow the constitution. It was Un Officially set aside in the early 1940′s. So you could make yourself KING as long as the Bankers allowed it. Just figured you should know.

O.k. Yes, this story pisses me off. It’s just another of many ways to rip off America and drive us into a deeper debt hole.
What we need to do is keep our eye on the prize. Continued investigations into BHO”s past. He’s not fit to be our POTUS!

You think the above story will get you mad. Wait to you read this article by Michael Savage!
While what I have said above may be a little difficult to fathom for most, ALL of our TAX and Spend Monetary problems stem from the Bankers of the Federal Reserve, And Rightfully so, they made the US Government sign a CONTRACT stating all Three branches of Government Fully Agreed to the signing of the Federal Reserve Act, and would adhere to the Contractual Law part of the US Constitution, and would give control of our monetary supply to the FED Bankers, and in exchange, as long as the US Government was able to pay the Interest on the money it had printed, It could do it’s Constitutional Business as Usual, However, the US Government lost sight of that and printed huge sums of money for all sorts of goodies, like a child with Daddies Credit Card. The bad news is that say your credit card has a 10,000 dollar limit, and you’ve maxed your card out, and you, now under strain from your financial situation, you pay Minimum Payments. However the Debt on such an amount is so high that you end up just paying the Interest instead of the Principle, and your spend happy youngster spends it to the hilt again. Well from there you end up paying a higher amount then you originally spent, which means you are now paying Extortion to a Group of already Over paid WannaBe Jews who are treating us like Goyium so they can charge us Usury on the “Service” they give us and the World…THEY Are the GOYIUM
