May 16, 2012The real class warfare in this country isn't rich vs. poor, it's government employees vs. we, the taxpayers, who pay their salaries.
Working for the government is supposed to be a trade-off: You can't be fired and don't have to exert yourself, but you will receive smaller remuneration than in the private sector, where layoffs are common (especially in the Obama economy!). Instead, government jobs are safe, secure, pressure-free -- and now, amazingly lucrative!
Whether it's in Wisconsin, Illinois, California or the nation's capital, today's public sector workers expect to do little or no work (I'm not counting partying in Las Vegas as "work"), and then be lavishly compensated. Often, the only heavy lifting they do all week is picking up their paychecks.
When government employees mobbed the state capitol in Wisconsin last year, the upside was: They got to bully people. The downside: Voters finally found out what these public servants were being paid.
Their compensation included not only straight salary, but also lavish overtime benefits, pensions, health care plans, sick days and vacation time (most of which they spent protesting).
The unions thought they could fight back against Gov. Scott Walker's tiny rollbacks without anyone finding out the details. Most people saw what public employees were getting and assumed it was a misprint.
Two years ago, seven bus drivers in Madison, Wis., made more than $100,000 a year.
A few years before that, we found out that the city manager of little Bell, Calif. -- per capita annual income $24,800 -- was making $787,637, or including benefits: $1.5 million a year. The chief of police was getting $457,000 a year -- $770,046 counting benefits -- making him the first chief of police to commit highway robbery on the job. The assistant city manager was taking home $376,288 per year, for a total compensation package of $845,960.
I"m merely looking for evasion in the responses of the other party, and once I find that evasion I simply carrry it one step forward ~ in this case to the possible non-payment of postage which is due!
I'm not getting a denial ~ I'm getting evasive answers and an attempt to create a diversion. I didn't even target you Lazz and here you are throwing up all sorts of diversions ~ so what is it that you've done you need to confess to? We are all friends here ~ no one will report you.
Allow me to quote you:
I am so sure you cheat on your postage it's palpable in your every comment. ...That's what i thought ~ you don't pay postage ~ which pays for the operation of the Post Office but you still find time to kvetch and moan about the service you get for free. Like I said you people are all sickos and not very respectful of the US Constitution.
Theres not much room for 'misinterpretation', ham hock.
You state he cheats on his postate, and then when he responds he doesn't use USPS, you chastize him for failing to support the USPS, calling him a 'sicko' and 'and not very respectful of the US Constitution'.
This is STRAIGHT out of Obama's playbook. "You must support the government even with your purchase decisions".
There is NO WIGGLE ROOM, sparky. You are cold busted as a liberal freakshow.
Sorry about your luck.
Dude, muawiyah, early Islamic leader and founder of caliphs, if your posts prompt Laz, gentle peacemaking and righteous soul that he is, to call you out like this means you are truly certifiable.
Sniff.
I guess I'm not too worried about trying to help this muawiyah try to get a more realistic view. Frankly, I doubt it's possible. I was simply expressing outrage he took on Cyber Liberty in a way indistinguishable from the way Obama or Pelosi might have.
Yes, I have gentled-down over time, but I still have razor-sharp claws and venomous teeth, if called for.
Pecksniffian
You think that apparent misspelling is going to distract us from what you are really up to?
You got NUTHIN'.
I figured.
Do not go out in public around normal people. I do not want them to catch what you've got.
Which is NUTHIN'.
Which, though possible is certainly not allowed much anymore ~ except in cases of national emergency and so forth.
Now we have folks stretching that into adherence to the doctrines of Nancy Pelosi (maid of the frozen face) and possibly even ObamaKKKare.
Let's go back to first causes ~ none of you would last a day baiting mosquitoes in a fetid federal swamp. So much for the "overpaid federal employee" comment.
You wrote it; you live with it.
Sorry about your luck.

...the U.S. Postal Service also is effectively bankrupt. The USPS expects to lose about $7 billion this year. [2011]The post office already has borrowed roughly $13 billion from Uncle Sam. At the end of 2009, USPS had $33.5 billion in outstanding liabilities and another $54.8 billion in unfunded retiree health and pension obligations.Uncle Sam? Where does he get his money?

What postage that is due? WTF are you talking about? I said I don't USE the USPS.
Is it past Beer:30 in your time zone?
I’ll pop for the electronic collar if you can hold down the guy going postal long enough to install it....
More likely somebody has been tapping the Versed eh.
What gets me about her is she writes something like this, and then goes out and endorses Romney, and endorses him and endorses him and promotes him and writes one column after another about him when she knows FULL WELL the ONLY way to end this government spending crap is to elect TRUE conservatives at EVERY level from POTUS all the way down to Mayors. But no, she tells everyone who will listen to vote for the lib from Assachussets. The woman talks from both sides of her ass.
The further we get into the campaign the closer it looks in any race between Romney and Obama. Given actual economic conditions the race shouldn't be tight at all.
I've always thought this guy was a loser ~ and there he is ~ prepared to lose.
That's it. I am not talking to you until you start making some sort of sense.
‘Is it past Beer:30 in your time zone?’ ~ which is a clear reference to intoxicating beverages. I merely replied that “somebody is tapping the Versed’ ~ in response to that ~ Versed is, of course, a powerful anesthetic. it can affect your long term memory in new and surprising ways.
Never heard of it. I probably did, but forgot. ;^)
Thanks.
BTW, you need to pull your head out of your a**. You are a leech. You were or are over compensated as a government worker. You are an example of why working Americans have such a low regard for government workers. Change is coming and it will come at your expense. Enjoy.
