Your slam on government workers is not an all-encompassing one is it? My family comes first. I am doing what I can to keep the costs to the taxpayers (ME, my friends, family, neighbors and community) as low as possible. I hate waste and abuse. Don't lump me in with others who are the primary cause of waste and abuse. Some of us have to work "behind enemy lines", otherwise there would be complete chaos instead of just random pandemonium ;-)

From my perspective, "government workers" include the SF Medic in Afghanistan, the beat cop on patrol in DC, the FBI ballistics expert reviewing evidence, the CIA operative working undercover in Syria, and the guys that go into burning buildings to save your cat.

Is being a telemarketer, personal injury lawyer, or hollywood producer somehow more noble than being a "government worker"??
