Public servant, my aching b___!

Many individuals in government refer to themselves as ‘public servants’. When you think of someone being a servant, isn’t he/she supposed to be subservient to the wishes of his/her employer? Isn’t the American public the employer for those in government? With how those in government conduct themselves, how could any one of them consider himself/herself a public servant? Public servant, my aching b___!

Federal politicians have bastardized the term ‘public servant’ and it is time that ‘we, the people’ demand our rightful position as our politicians’ employer. What changes might we make that would lead us to genuine representative government and prevent the building of mini-kingdoms and considerable wealth just for being in elected office?

The first step is to pass Amendment 28, making those who write, support and pass legislation subject to this legislation, just as the populace is. This amendment must be retroactive so that we are being ‘fair’ to the rest of us. ZERO exemptions, from the President on down the line. This should insert some needed common sense into all legislation by those within our Federal government. How would this affect the implementation of ObamaCare and the gun control rancor, if they and/or their staffers and security personnel were forced to live under their legislation?

If you’re afraid to quit paying him for his services, you have a master, not a servant.

Sometimes it is easy to conflate the elected people with the drones working at the various government organizations. IMO, he politicians are SUPPOSED to be representatives of their constituants and stewards of the constitution and the republic. Most of the bozos up in the legislature are thiefs and shirkers of their pledges.

The drones meanwhile are our employees. Unfortunately we cannot fire them or force them to do our bidding. As such, most seem to believe they must feather their own fiefdoms by preying upon the population through rules and regulations which they believe are the best for you because “I just know so.”

Look at that jerk Lahood at transportation who does not own a car yet he knows what is best for your vehicle choice. Most of those in office today were raised in cities or bedroom communties, have never served in the military, and have never had a job aside from some government job where they figured out how to plunder their various budgets or treasury.

Fine pickle you got us into here Olie.

i think you’re confusing political appointee with public employee. and the reason that public employees get the image they have is largely due to political employees. nto that some of the reputation is undeserved, but that the worst abusers are those appointed by politicians...
