Participant[quote=sdduuuude][quote=CA renter]One more expense I forgot to address is private contractors who significantly overcharge the govt.
[/quote]I don’t disagree with this, but it seems that this is exactly what the unions are – private contractors overcharging the government. Same thing, really.[/quote]
The net result to the taxpayer may be the same… but where those overcharged dollars end up is very different. Concentrated at the top, or spread among the workers…

Absoluetely correct, UCGal. The incomes of public workers is almost entirely spent right back into the economy that supports them (local taxpayers). Not so with high-level executives and “investors” who can take their money to other countries or spend it on yachts, planes, mansions, etc. in different locations.
Also, public sector employees are far more accountable than their private-sector counterparts.
