Quote from Max E. Pad:
I find it amazing that anyone could even argue against this point, all you have to do to prove it is look at the discrepancy in private and public sector wages. The private sector is getting crushed right now, but the public sector is thriving. That is exactly what is causing the divergence right now between taxes and spending.
Then look at the hours, and the kind of work people in the private sector have to do... I didnt even know what an EDO was till i dated a girl who worked for the government, and she got a certain number of EDO's (on top of vacation time) just for showing up.... What the fuck is an earned day off? You mean to tell me that for showing up to work and doing your job like 99% of americans you have "earned a day off"?
I remember seeing as post someone made about a prop shop they went to for an interview where one of the people asked if they had a dental plan, and the guy doing the interview said "you want dental buy a fucking tooth brush" that pretty much sums it up....![]()
It used to be people went to the public sector for job security, benefits, and the overall easy job, and knew they would be limited in their opportunity for advancement, and you went to the private sector knowing it was going to suck at first, but if you worked hard you could make your way up through the ranks, and make lots of money, now it seems that the public sector is the most surefire way to earn a high wage, while you do nothing.
OK, public sector includes the Military, police, teachers, and all the rest. Is it really your argument that the private sector, from WalMart workers to Investment bankers work harder?
Look I understand your point. Everyone likes to point at the public workers standing by a shovel on the highway, but big, wide, blanket statements are just wrong, IMO.
