Federal parasites, Wisconsin parasites what’s the difference?

I might add that they are taxpayers.

They are employed, gainfully I might add.

There is nothing criminal about working for the government.

One takes the job based on certain expectations about salary and benefits.

These expectaions and benefits are provided by the employer as an enticement to take the job.

I don't know any employee worth his salt who wouldn't fight to retain those expectations and benefits after having been hired, regardless of who the employer is.

Some chose the route of government service while others chose other paths.

And, before you start union bashing, I'll remind you of the great example Ronald Reagan made of the ATC Union on how impotent government unions really are.

Some are gainfully employed and many are totally useless and spend their days surfing the internet. There are thousands and thousands governmental entities in America. Some function honestly and some steal from the taxpayer. They do absolutely nothing useful. Most of the EPA, EEOC and the US Department of Education should be nuked and everyone fired. The Department of the Interior is a haven for eco-hippies who are waging war against hard working Americans. You could fire 70% of those Federal workers. The State Department is full of America hating lefties who do absolutely nothing positive. You could eliminate many offices there.

Same case in the private sector.... In the real world where people get laid off and get wage freezes many job expectations and promises have been broken. Why should Gov't employees be any different when the economy stinks?

No Gov't worker pays taxes. What he does is kick back part of his salary. My proof is that I see state workers demonstrating and demanding higher taxes. No one in their right mind demands higher taxes that he must also pay. Only Gov't workers do because they know higher taxes benefit them. Last month Illinois doubled many taxes. Every Illinois state worker loved that because they are not tax-payers. They are salary rebaters.
