I try to explain to people that government workers don’t contribute to the tax base (the private sector pays all the government’s bills)and they don’t add to the economy (they can only spend money that would have been spent by the private sector). Only after careful explanation does the light bulb go on. Unfortunately Obama’s burned out a long time ago.

OK...I'll bite....Of course government workers are paid from the tax base but I didn't know they were exempt from paying income tax.
