There are so many politicians and political appointees who have "cheated" or "forgotten" to pay their fair share of taxes. It's truly incredible.<br />MCKovacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689791804758634572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941604398930299106.post-60927037108018052112012-12-13T19:14:32.188-06:002012-12-13T19:14:32.188-06:00Wow, is it just me or does it seem like we are hea...Wow, is it just me or does it seem like we are hearing of more and more of these cases lately? I don't know if it's happening more often or if it's that more are getting caught.

I asked a pregnant friend if she would be taking the additional weeks for Paid Family Leave. She works for the county and said that she doesn't qualify for the benefit because she doesn't pay into it. What? A mandatory tax that is automatically deducted from every California paycheck and since she works for the county, she doesn't have to pay it? How is that fair? Somehow, I wonder if government hires strictly based on education level and years of experience, not on a person's ability to perform. Then, the benefits they offer their employees are paid by our tax dollars, often times employees don't even need to pay into those retirement programs. Very frustrating indeed.
