And one more thing, paramount, I’m willing to bet that we pay FAR more in taxes toward schools and other taxpayer-funded infrastructure and services that we do not use than you (or any of the other whiners here) are paying toward pensions for those wretched public employees. That’s the nature of a civilized democracy: we all have to pay for things we don’t like or use, and most of us also get something for a much lower price than what we’d have to pay if it were privatized.
I hate wars that benefit a handful of very well-connected people and corporations at the expense of taxpayers and people who live in weaker countries…but I still have to pay for them (and YOU!).
