Quote from: DKG on June 05, 2025, 09:44:01 AMThe average person does not know about their remuneration.

There might be some tolerance for those salaries if CPP provided a better return.

Not a chance. Those salaries set by the government would still be an insult to the working class people who pay them.

Quote from: Herman on June 04, 2025, 03:15:41 PMThe max monthly CPP payment increased 2.6% from 2024 to 2025.
Compare that with CPP CEO John Graham's 24% increase...
* The average monthly CPP payment is $808/mo or $9696 annually
* The CEO's new salary after his 24% increase is $525,000/MONTH or $6.3 million/year according to the CPP Investment Board's latest annual report.

Other senior executives at the Canada Pension Plan also received substantial compensation packages last year.
• Senior managing director Max Biagosch: $5.6 million
• Chief investment officer Edwin Cass: $4.7 million
• Head of Asia Pacific investments Agus Tandiono: $4.7 million
• Senior managing director Andrew Edgell: $3.6 million
• Chief Financial Officer Kristina Fanjoy: $1.8 million.

Quote from: Lokmar on June 04, 2025, 10:15:05 PMOut of the roughly $73K I've made so far this year, I've paid almost $20K when you add federal, state, SSI, and medicare taxes. Thats about 27% right off the top. Consider my employer paid in the same amount for SSI and the number goes up to 33%. Then, our sales tax is 10%+, property tax is $6K/yr, we STILL pay about 10K more after filing taxes every year,taxes for car licenses, utilities, 22% tax on gasoline in Illinois, and other random shit we spend money on and the government takes well over half what we make.

When democRATs say tax the rich, turns out I'M RICH!!!!!     

Taxes are so much lower in Singapore and the services so much better.

The money you get back from CPP is a joke. Singapore's pension system is privatized and so much better than Canada or the US.

However, despite the embarrassingly low return from CPP at least it will be around in 30 years. US Social Security is close to insolvency.

Quote from: Thiel on June 04, 2025, 04:09:12 PMI looked it up. The combined maximum contribution for employer and employee is now $8,068 per year or $4,034 each. That is $363,000 in forty five years of working.

It's not a very good return considering the average payout is only $9700 per year.
