None of your business. I sense you're trying to imply I must be a typical lazy useless fed that should be fired and disenfranchised. But if I'm fired do I get my right to vote back? And, by the way, where do you get your info that the Founding Fathers didn't want federal employees to vote? Never heard that one before. The reason D.C. didn't get voting representation was to keep the capital city from gaining too much power. The same reason it wasn't put in a state: they didn't want any one state to have too much power.

"I sense you're trying to imply I must be a typical lazy useless fed that should be fired."

A federal employee fired? You must be joking.

How the rest of us pay for federal worker's enfranchisement.

" It was Mark Twain who pointed out: "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress." Reiterating that sentiment much later, Twain offered: "It is the foreign element that commits our crimes. There is no native criminal class except Congress."

And the facts and figures continually pour in. Bill O’Reilly, in his latest book, continues to lament the disappearance of millions and billions of taxpayer-earned dollars squandered by our criminal ruling class in Washington in the form of Department of Education funds and other forms of waste and corruption. He laments the shoddy bookkeeping by government agencies. What bookkeeping? As a former government finance officer, I can personally testify to the dismal lack of responsible accounting and recordkeeping methods. And the congressional watchdog, the General Accounting Office, as well as its Comptroller General, are in full but little publicized agreement!"
