Buyer's Remorse, or Voter's Remorse...

I will only say you are dead wrong the govt. employees cannot almost never be fired----if its true, thats evidence I would love to see. The most over looked thing here is that many govt workers get good benefits and make more than most people in the private sector....but why is this? The answer that often applies, and if convienently overlooked by many, is that those govt. workers have Bachelors or Masters Degrees (or higher) for their position and would thus be doing work that many could not do in the private sector----i.e. not too many manual labor jobs in the state or federal govt. Also, govt. workers pay taxes-----so while yes, you pay some for their benefits and salary....part of their own money goes to pay themselves, something people in the private sector do not have to contend with.

Also as a teacher I sure don’t make anywhere near a million dollars a year but that “millionaires taxes” is BS! I understand there are a lot of millionaires that got their money by just playing the market or inheriting it or by other less productive ways, but there are also a lot that get their money through very productive ways. Men like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Sergey Brin & Larry Page (Google), to name a few deserve their money. Every day I use Microsoft Office, my IPod, Goodle, and a ton of other inventions that make my life better. These guys deserve the money they make. Why should they pay extra taxes just because they’ve been ultra successful? Redistributive taxation is morally wrong and insane in a nation that is supposed to be about individualism.

I have no remorse. In fact, where can we get courageous people like this in the federal government as representatives? The cuts the states are making are the cuts we need at the national level. But the cowards in Washington print money rather than making tough decisions. It is sickening.

When the pendulum swings to far left, it always swings back to the right. How far is the question.

I was wondering how long it would take before this degenerated into insults. No comment- lol let's just talk about cigars... How about those Punishers? Lol

Vulchor

Wasnt an insult Smoky----just a joke man. Those of us through these political messes here for a few years know when its a real degeneration. This is just a little ribbing on my part, and I take it too.

Vulchor

Quite right Gypsy------the ebb and flow if American politics personified. If not, we would have 30 yr dictators in power wearing big game hunting gear and picnic tablecloths on his head.

I assumed it was in jest, as was mine. No worries.

I know Kuzi....you said that twice now. If your not getting political anymore, fine. Then dont police those of us (any of us for that metter) who are engaging in what, at least has seemed to be, a discussion. Its like the guy who doesnt vote, then complains about the official. Or mediating a fight where no mediator is wanted, or in this case needed.
