    LOL I was hoping the fish were biting today!

    The sum is part of a city pension that comes on top of the $198,000 annual salary he is paid to represent the interests of thousands of city workers.

    illanova last worked for the city in 1989 as an electrical mechanic with the Department of Streets and Sanitation, making about $40,000 a year. Yet in 2008 he was allowed to retire at age 56 with a $108,000 city pension. That's because, under a little-known state law, his pension was based not on his city paycheck but on his much higher union salary.

    You keep posting but you refuse to answer the question. What in the world does hip hop have to do with tax policy. Has someone in the Democratic party talked about giving a special "hip hop" tax break? You're really going to have to explain yourself to us on this one. This is just so bizarre. Am I to assume your original statement was just a delusional right wing rant where you just threw in a bunch of nouns that you don't like and then made a baseless derogatory statement? Is this like the "hip hop barbeque?" You just find something you don't like at throw in "hip hop?"

    Why do you obsess on hip hop? Was just one example. Call it Yodling for all I care.
    Its the money earned that's the point.

    Really? Conservatism is what made this country great. It's liberalism that is now bankrupting it.

    As I've said a hundred times, liberals "project". And Landru is one of the forums biggest projectors. If you need an explanation, please look up the word.
