Actually, the government is also largely responsible for the economic train wreck as well.
Yes, public employees are tax payers but by and large they are overhead and a burden from an economic perspective.
A public employee paying tax is not that helpful since they are paid from tax revenue anyway (or phony monopoly money). In fact, I believe some years ago many federal gov’t didn’t pay federal income tax directly – what’s the point?
Gov’t workers in the State of California are in no small way bankrupting the state. Ofcourse, part of the reason we have so many state (and local) gov’t workers is also because of our socialist legislature.

The government is only responsible for this mess in absentia. It’s entirely a product of the Federal Reserve, Wall Street and consumer greed.
And jeepers dude, do you really consider the UC system and the hard-working folks that do public works projects (like providing you clean drinking water) as *overhead*?
Especially when compared to the typical SoCal securitized debt broker?
What a topsy-turvy world we live in!
