My wife works harder than most of the people who make over $200K, if she gets good benefits it's only a fair reimbursement for an actual service that she provides: teaching children.

so your family being the beneficiary of a taxpayer subsidized pension is acceptable, because your wife works hard for it and no one else does? how is this different from minorities insisting that they are entitled to government assistance, affirmative action, and other aid... simply because they've been victims of slavery, discrimination, oppression...? What happened to "earning their bread by free market, old fashioned, supply & demand means"? It seems to me that it's not the liberals that are having a problem with this concept.
By the way, your wife's benefits don't really concern me, but the hypocrisy of your post does.
