Government workers who retire at 49 years old with a full pension you and I have to pay for.

Federal, State, or Local?

Typical retirement and pension eligibility for new employees in State and Federal work have it designed so that really anything under 30 years isn't worth it at all, which means the person in that scenario would start at 19. Also they usually aren't eligible until an age in their 50's.

If you're talking about local Police and Fire, well that's a different story. If their pension packages upset you, take it up with your government.
