Anyone who receives a government check? That would include military personnel, intelligence officers, and law enforcement officers. They deserve better than to be portrayed like that.

While it’s true that there are too many people who get money from the government (including many corporations), this study is overly simplistic.

No it isn’t. It’s dead on. Anyone employed by the government is paid by tax dollars and thus is supported by the private sector.

I’m pretty sure there was a time when politicians and federal employees could not vote in elections. There was a time when Washington DC has NO ELECTORAL VOTES and therefore no citizens of DC voted in federal elections or had any representation in the government.

I think it’s time to get back to this concept.
