Once politicians gain the power to fund their own retirement at the taxpayer's expense, they will spend an inordinate amount of time raising their benefits, which is exactly what has happened to the federal congress. Legislators already receive a generous salary of $99,000 per year plus expenses and do not need additional perks.
