The amazing thing is that the state employees 300,000 union employees. How many people work for the state? How many work for the state and local government in NY?

It doesn't take a genius to realize that with 1 in 20 or 30 taxpayers working for the state and local governments there may be a problem with too many employees.

The American public has to start understanding that to people in government, government is a business. It’s not just public service now; it’s their business and like all business people they’re constantly trying to expand their business and increase the revenues into their business. So government is now constantly trying to grow and increase taxes and fees through all means possible. It’s all out of control and half the legislators have been bought off to some extent by public employee unions. The taxpayers are going to have to revolt and elect people who have a platform of curbing the expansion of government at all levels.
