A major problem with our government has long been excessive, often wasteful, spending and excessive taxation to fund it. Federal employees, as a group are more likely than not to be supportive of large government expenditure as they are likely to see it as in their interest and any curtailment thereof as potentially threatening to them. They will vote accordingly. As I said in my post above, the original setup in which District of Columbia did not vote was probably at least in part due to such considerations.
Why were the democrats so adamant to federalize airport security workers? It will swell the federal unions and increase the unions political contributions which go to the democrats. A corrective would be "paycheck protection" which would allow workers to refuse to have deductions from their paycheck for political contributions; but that isn't going to happen.
I understand that you, as a federal employee, would feel that it would be unfair for you to be disenfranchized because you are such. Well, on the other hand, if federal employees vote, all taxpayers can be expected to pay more taxes than if they don't.
Nonsense. You don't pay any taxes at all. The gov't plays a shell game wherein it gives you money and then takes some back. It still remains true that that all of this money was originally stolen from people in the productive economy.
Why shoud I be disenfranchised just because I chose a career serving the public?
I don't allow my servants to decide how to run my house - for obvious reasons. If you want to decide what happens, get yourself a real job instead of pretending that that you "serve" the public you extort a salary from.
