As a private industry employee/small business owner, I’m seriously offended by a federal government that:
1) raises my payroll taxes
2) adds new pages to an already burdensome tax code
3) adds new regulations to an already over regulated industry
...all in the name of keeping a bloated,non functioning bureaucracy afloat for yet another year.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to people who rise and sleep under the blanket of the very revenue that I provide, and then are offended that I may disagree. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest government employees grab a private sector job or start a small business. Either way, I don’t give a damn that government employees are offended.
Great qoute from Jack Nicholson
Ever tried doing business with a government agency ?
Consider the Defense Fuel Supply Administration in Alexandria, VA, for example.
Speaking English as a second language must be a primary consideration for being hired at this outfit. No one I talked to, in the course of 16 years, could speak or write past a 6th grade level.
All were tops in mailing out mind-numbing forms which would be returned for the slightest omission (are you a minority/female owned business, do you qualify for some special handout) etc.
Long waits or sleepy responses were standard. On one sale, we got paid in five months.
They didn’t care and they demonstrated this attitude over and over.
What did you say a govt employee starting a business????????.....Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!
