[quote=no_such_reality]Thank you CAR for being clear for everyone.
The government workers do not think they are accountable to the taxpayer.
If the taxpayer doesnt like it, get out of the State is their position.[/quote]
The REAL situation is, govm’t employees have a “monopoly” on the services they are providing. No one else does it and the taxpayer cannot visit a private business to get a certified copy of a document, for example, unless that business is simply a “middleman” who must visit the gov’t agency themselves to provide the service (such as a DMV “tag office” or “runner”).
ALL of the “services” govm’t employees are providing MUST be provided by law, no matter what anyone who doesn’t receive or doesn’t qualify to receive the service may think about it. The working conditions inherent in providing many of these public services may or may not be what a typical worker in private enterprise CAN or WILL agree to comply with for the duration of their employment.
Therefore, the “taxpayer” (in ANY jurisdiction) has no choice but to use the gov’mt agency if they need services only it provides. There is no “shopping around.”
