On October 29, I wrote an article entitled, Taxpayers vs. Taxtakers, a Visual, using numbers obtained from the CATO Institute, that showed the huge discrepancy between what federal government workers (paid by tax dollars) are paid over what the private sector (you know, that group that President Obama continuously demonizes as greedy), the non-government workers earn. This latter group could also be known as the taxpayers who pay the taxtakers salaries.

I remember watching some older movie about the Roman Empire and the Emperor was building up the army’s loyalty by decreeing wage increases for all.

Kind of strikes me the same way here. Make sure the people who’ll have your back get paid well so they don’t turn on you.

Washington greed replaces Wall Street greed.

I don’t know how much more we’re going to take. Like I heard someone say, we’re borrowing money from China to create government jobs and I’M MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE. I mean it...I’m ready to storm the White House and I don’t care who knows it.

Keep working peasants, your masters need another raise. The various levels of government need the axe—50 percent would be a good start to ridding America of her parasite infestation.
