[quote=CA renter]Again, I despise the fact that **workers of all stripes** are being made (brainwashed) to turn agaist each other when the culprits who created our problems are sailing away on their yachts, unscathed.[/quote]

More class warfare from the left. Oh, don’t look at the public sector that doesn’t have to answer to the free market, whose employees are living off a pension that only a few million dollar investment fund could reasonably return. No it’s those evil CEOs and fund managers of the private sector that are creating all of our problems. As if failure in the private sector and losing investment dollars is automatically a crime. There is no arguing that on the whole private sector companies BIG and small, have created the standard of living today. What are you arguing exactly? That we should have some laws to punish CEOs and their families when they fail?

Some pretty bold assumptions there.

I’ve worked in both private and public sectors, and can say for a fact that the standards for public workers are higher than for those in the private sector. Also, there is additional liability in the public sector that is not there in the private sector, which is why they have to hire better qualified candidates in the first place.[/quote]

I can’t help you if actually believe the government IT workers are better and more qualified than there counterparts in the private sector. You obviously have zero experience in the field.

[quote=CA renter]Bravo, TexasLine.

I’m also sick of all the whining about govt workers.

We’ve spent **TRILLIONS** on Wall Street (far more than the budget and pension deficits in CA), where those who’ve created all our economic problems (including the pension problems, BTW) are getting richer than ever; yet the violent anger is missing there. I wonder why? It makes me wonder who is **really** behind all these attacks on public workers.

Distract the sheeple at all costs…turn them against one another. That seems to be the plan, and the sheeple are being led to the slaughter, just as stupid as ever.[/quote]

This is the typical leftists argument that makes the patently false assumption that wealth is a zero sum game. The TRILLIONS that has been spent on the private sector GENERATES WEALTH. Government agencies do not. There would be no budget for the government if it were not for the private sector. I don’t have any issue with a CEO making millions as that is taken out of the revenue of the company and not my tax dollars. It’s the left that tries to stir up this class warfare rhetoric and conveniently leaves that fact out.

Oh, good for you…drum up clients while serving on a charity. I assume your investment advice includes starting a career in the public sector? Do you guarantee an 8% return to your clients?
