I have a defined benefit pension program and I don't have money taken
from my paycheck to fund it. You said your're in California right? Are
you sure that the money they take out of your check isn't for supporting
you local illegal aliens? :-)

I work for the State of California, have a defined-benefit pension,
and for sure they take money from my salary to help fund the pension.
