Speaking of "sophomoric" -- here's more "swill" from She-Who and her "sycophants"

There are surveys that reveal state workers make less. The biannual State Salary Survey is a thorough review of salaries compared to the private sector. Early last year the Seattle Times, hardly a liberal bastion, conducted a survey that revealed the same thing. The surveys were fairly consistent. More than 80% of state workers (classified employees) made less than their counterparts in the private sector.

There is no such thing as a counterpart in the private sector for a government employee.

Really? Are there no computer programmers, secretaries, doctors, lawyers, nurses, janitors, painters, etc. in the private sector?

You don't get it either.

You can't compare government employment to private.

Not everything is as sophomoric as you see it.

Why don't you and your three sycophants tell us how many business owners can make the government step in and bail them out when their employees demand raises and benefits.

Your statement comes across as extremely ignorant.
in reply to boltcutters

That's because you don't get it.

That's the problem, not me stating it.

There is good reason for that. Your perception is entirely justified.

So there aren't attorneys, secretaries, office assistants, accountants, cooks, legal secretaries, office managers, landscapers, economists, engineers, IT specialists, executive directors, etc, etc, etc, etc, in the private sector?

The same people who scream about "bailouts" for "private" business see no irony in demanding the same for government employees.

Here's a quote from the great novelist and noted America-hater, John Steinbeck. Defines the Bagger philosophy to a Tea - so to speak. All the rich need to do is convince everyone in the trailer park that they too can someday be rich. Once they've done that, getting them to vote against their own self interest is guaranteed, as long as you consistently tell the lie.

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporality embarrassed millionaires."

Just like you're convinced there's a difference between democrats, republicans, etc. You are a fool and an idiot.

Well, if you're going to try as hard as you do to stir up and make trouble you'll find that most folks will be defensive.

Why don't you stop and see what happens.

Corporate money and the power/influence that comes with it is a strong force but it too has its limits. That's the difference. No more "champagne and caviar dreams" aka; "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". You try and take away our union jobs you are declaring class warfare!
