Tea Party wants to rob Cincinnati workers of pensions

The Tea Party needs to learn to butt out where it's not welcome.

If you think it's bad that the Tea Party sticks its nose into people's business too much in, say, Kenton County, think how arrogant it is for the Tea Party to go poking around in Cincinnati itself, where nobody supports them.

The Tea Party is trying to get a referendumb on the ballot this year that would rob Cincinnati municipal workers of their hard-earned pension money and replace it with a privatized plan. It also slashes cost-of-living increases for those who already get a pension. In other words, it's yet another instance of Tea Party theft.

The Tea Party says their plan will cost the city less. They lie. Actually it would cost the city more - since the city shored up its pension plans 2 years ago.

We are at war. War against evil. War against kleptocracy. War against right-wing criminals with a sense of entitlement - that's the Tea Party.
