Correct. The idea was equal OPPORTUNITY, not financial EQUALITY. The MTV-watching, crack-smoking, iPod buying crowd are too damn lazy to work, so they want it for free. I am the son of a poor Oklahoma farmer, and I am self-made. I resent any notion by any person or entity that all Americans are entitled to free healthcare or a free ride or equal prosperity in the absence of equal effort.
And CalPERS isn't the only one overfunded, there are a few others. This is a good move in my opinion, that is if Cali intends to solve its many financial problems.
The liberals are all about reform, as long as the reform is funded by us capitalist Republican pigs.
