I have nothing against them as individuals, but as a group, Gov’t employees have become branches of the Democrat Party. I lived in DC for 6 years, and of course, Fed Employees believe in their “mission,” believe that the Federal Gov’t should manage most aspects of people’s lives, and are very patronizing to those of us in “flyover” country. After all, who else is large enough, or smart enough to do it?
Granted most Federal Employees are not in DC, but DC is the center of the Empire.
The Pentagon, for example, representing about 1/3 of the total federal workforce, is in VA.
The CIA is in VA also.
Then there are satellite spies ~ they're in VA. And the FBI is mostly in WV.
Being a Federal has been become ironic for me as I have become more libertarian in my fews because I can see how dangerous to have other people run other people lives especially when you see what types of people the FED gov’t hires.. It is scary that people entrust their lives to federal employees.
