It isn't that firefighters, teachers and police don't do a real job, it's that that job has to be paid for by private sector revenues. You don't create long term employment by taking money out of the private sector to keep public sector workers employed because when the money appropriated runs out (and it has), you then have to lay those public sector workers off or go further into debt to retain them (as President Obama is now wanting to do for the second time). What part of this concept don't you progressives "get"?
Oh, I think I "Get it" just fine thanks.
Ask Apple how many people they would employ if no one protected their intellectual and physical property.
Ya ever wonder why no companies move their headquarters to third world hellholes with no taxes?
His point is like the UAW the public sector employee is pricing themselves out of a job. Its legacy cost that is killing all of these union supported entities
how we ever got in a place in which I do a 401K and a teacher does 20-30 years service but donated 0 to there "pension" I will never know
They don't donate '0' to their pension. They earn their pension as part of the compensation they get for doing their job.
