An examination of the actual amounts received by all PERS recipients, published over at OLive by name and final salary proves that point.

If you know a PERS retiree by name, look them up.   Your former high school teacher?  A police officer?  A fireman?  

Once you get past the University employees and the OHSU doctors, and the 30 year educators, and the Legislators and Portland Mayors, the sense of outrage should dissipate somewhat.
