The New American Aristocracy



Thousands of retired government employees are getting pensions of over $100,000 per year, and us taxpayers have to pay for their lavish retirements. See how it happened, and see how they live compared to the little people in this parody of Dangerous Liaisons.

    Were it only that simple......

    Put simply, we cannot ALL work for the governement. How well would that work out? Gov't consumes resources, it doesn't create them. How long would we as a society last if all of us worked for the gov't? HInt: Not long.

    We got in this mess and public employees made millionaires via ridiculously high pensions not by "choices", but by way too powerful and taxpayer crushing unions, who's cash and influence tilts many elections and outright steals others. In what other reality can workers essentially pick their own bosses?

    Also forgotten is the fact that unlike in the private sector, where too high prices mean a company dies, the public sector HAS NO COMPETITION! Their universal solution is to tax the rest of us. This model doesn't work. EVERY state with powerful unions is in the toilet.

  3. More fool me and the millions of others who went to work in the private sector to produce the wealth our government officials and pensioners are so eager to consume.

    Hard to tell whether I've developed a fan base or you're just some kind of weird stalker. Probably the latter....

    Wanna clean my toilets?

  5. Stalker? Nahhh...I've just seen you on too many of these articles posting union nonsense and propaganda in a vain effort to slow the long needed tidal wave of reform.

    Your sheer volume of posts is indicative of a very vested interest in preserving the status quo & your deathgrip on our wallets. I have little doubt you're a union plant or operative out to peddle the unions' nonsense. No such luck. The public is ever more on to your shenanigans, much to your dismay.
