The golden parachute pensions of public servants could bankrupting cities. But hey, who cares?
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

Haha royalties are not pensions. The state is not paying Seinfeld six figures or more a year for 40 years to not work. He earned an income while he worked and invested it to set himself up with his own retirement. We as taxpayers aren't supporting Seinfeld now that he's taking it easy in life...I'll tell you what my main issue is. As Bill pointed out, some of those on public pensions get paid more for not working then they ever did while they actually worked. They get pay raises to be retired. Sorry, but no. If you are an able-bodied adult and you want to keep earning an annual income, stay employed, I give no shits if you put in 20+ years of public service. I could have retired from the military with 20 years service at age 37-38 since I joined out of high school. Wanna opay me 50k a year after that for 40 years to do nothing? No, and I wouldn't expect you to because I wouldn't even be in my 40s.
