Nobody is pointing fingers at the banks either are they? The tellers are all part-time, when they used to be full-time. I know many part-time government workers, in my locale, who are working 39 hours per week, with no fringe benefits. When we see what is happening all over the rest of the world right now, we need to be grateful for where we live, and concentrate on being good citizens. If there is something we don’t like, we need to get out and vote to change it. People in the public sector are there because the public needs to be protected, and the public needs infrastructure. Calling them names is useless and stupid!

In reply to Steve Mehlman. No, they would be against the power wielded by statist bureaucracies and the RAGWUS feeders that exist off the private sectors labor. If you would have listened to the protesters they are against their freedom destroying government. They are not after free cell phones, an EBT card, or free medical, they want freedom from their RAGWUS crowd. :)

Shhhh! Don’t wake him from his delusion. He’s comparing the greedmeisters of our country to the Ukrainian patriots who are bringing down their government and kicking Putin in the butt. If the Ukrainians were over here, they’d be called Occupy.

Did you get rejected for a good and stable government job?

Government actions resulting in over regulations on businesses, over taxation and uncontrollable fees are contributing to the middle class becoming an endangered species as the inequality has deepened. The results are that consumers are paying for over regulations to businesses.

Extra costs resulting from government actions on businesses are a slight inconvenience to those making the big bucks such as those making the big bucks. Those behind the over regulations, over taxation, and uncontrollable “fees” on businesses are mostly the highly compensated, and most with sweet defined retirement benefit packages waiting for them upon retirement, i.e., those that CAN afford the higher costs that trickle down to all citizens for products and services.

Those that earn less than $20 per hour, which includes virtually all those in the food and hospitality industries, are the ones that can least afford higher costs for power, transportation fuels, and food. There is minimal impact to those that can afford the results of our relentless business unfriendly efforts, but little hope for those that barely exist at today’s cost of living.

How will the political environment explain to the middle and poor classes why over regulations and more costs being imposed on businesses is helping to improve the inequality of the middle class that has been growing rather than shrinking?

In reply to Steve Mehlman. The cost of government, (pay, pensions, and benefits), is one of the reasons pay is so low in the private sector. The RAGWUS is stealing the wealth of the nation using its inside connections to commit fraud on the private sector taxpayers, not unlike is happening in the Ukraine at this time. :)
