It has been recently brought to my attention that TAXYPAYERS contribute $24.36 for every $1 that an MP puts into their pension account. This totals to around $110.7 MILLION of taxpayer’s money in the last year; money that could very well fund important matters that is otherwise spent making the lives of these greedy politicans more comfortable as already is. In an effort to dump this reprehensible act/ “rule”, I have signed a petition on http://ad.mobilexco.com/ad/71/sms-link/b… in which taxpayers’ contributions should match MP pension contributions ($1 for $1),and it is advisble that you do the same.

THANKS!!!

I have no problem with MP pensions. MP’s are not paid too much compared with equivalent jobs in the private sector.
Can you imagine being a cabinet minister in charge of a major industry such as finance, or transportation etc. The MP might make 150k per year. An executive in the private sector of a very large company doing a similar job would make several times that amount.
The best business people could not afford the pay cut to go into politics. If you want the best people, we should pay politicians more.
