The “Looters” are out of control. When are we going to “shrug?”

Bizarre isn't it?

The government at all levels has become so huge, so bloated, so controlling, that hundreds of thousands are going to demand more and higher taxes to pay for their lottery style government salaries and government retirement pensions...

I think it's becoming increasingly clear the American people work for those in government.

Pension gap divides public and private workers (2007 article but timely)
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-02-20-pensions-cover_x.htm
You can bet the politicians will be looking for ways to steal the 401k savings of the non-government retirees to fund the bloated benefits of the government retirees. The former group has nobody to defend them. The latter has politicians and unions feeding at the trough.

This is outrageous.
