Unions, union leaders and political hacks corrupt - naw - couldn't happen...

The average non-politically connected sap working his ass off in the private sector gets a lousy 401(k) plan with shitty investment options (if he's lucky) and will have to work until he's about, oh, 106.

The average politically connected parasite loafing on the public teat hits the pension lottery at age 55 (or sooner).

Said Oliver Wendell Holmes:

"Taxes are the price we pay for civilization."

Natually, Mr Holmes spent most of his life on the public payroll.
