I suggest migration to Bell California, population 44,000, where the city manager makes $800K and the police chief makes $450K per year

There is something seriously wrong with that web page. It spans off the screen in Firefox and IE.

I met a gym teacher from Loudon County (Leesburg), VA that was decrying her $87K annual salary. she was working at Costco as a "sample lady" to make ends meet. Her hubby is a beltway bandit!

Don'tcha feel sorry?

Making ends meet should be *easy* with a buggy whip! Just bend ‘er around ‘til the tip touches the butt.

Cry me a river. The educational system has produced generations of socialist-ready zombies. Most kids have no idea what America once really was.

I suggest 50% of public employees get fired and the other 50% get their compensation cut in half!

Next year fire 50% of those left.

I strongly encourage all of Texas bureaucrats and other statist parasites, to please move to Kalifornica where they are in love with SEIU type people. When you leave, please take your friends, “domestic” partners, your illegal alien housekeepers, nannuies, yard crews, etc, with you. Think of it this way, it helps out both states!
