A Government Worker Takedown from an Unexpected Source
The American Thinker ^ | April 26, 2010 | Thomas Lifson

The public employee unions do not realize the forces they have unleashed with their greed. Openly boasting of their relationship with Obama as they are protected from the recession as no other Americans, recipients of lavish benefits unthinkable in the private sector, they have stirred deep resentment among the American public, a phenomenon which can only grow as taxes rise.

It has gotten to the point where even Saturday Night Live mocks the overpaid, underperforming public employee stereotype.

Watch and enjoy this takedown of greedy public employees.

When it comes to state budgets, it is the teachers union that is the greediest and the most indulged.

Vouchers, tax credits, and charters ( with the goal of complete privatization with parents paying for their own kids) would go a long way toward reducing taxes for everyone, and getting the states budget numbers in control.
