Kansas Legislator " Public Employees Produce Nothing."

[TheMastersNemesis]

GOPPERS want to fire ALL the public employees I guess. They are useless and are only takers in their lexicon. The dollar public employees spend has less value than a private sector employee. So their attack on public employees will probably get even more severe. Heck the GOP would probably sanction public execution of public employees if they really had their way.

So if there is a fire or disaster who is going to show up to save people.

1. It seems Kansas legislators

produce the least.

[merrily]

2. Privatization works so much better. Especially when subsidized by tax dollars.

It must because both of the two largest parties seem very partial to it, whether it's charter schools, hiring mercenaries, trying to kill the Post Office or bailing out health insurers who didn't need bailing out to begin with.

11. +1 Exactly, they don't want to get rid of public employee jobs,

they just want to privatize them, so some CEOs can make some more billions.

[merrily]

12. Yes, and the govt will not be responsible for pensions. Plus, union busting. Public employees are

one of the last big bastions of union employees. Take more and more dues payers away from unions and you disempower unions. And Unions are still the single biggest donors to the Dem Party. Dems shoot themselves in the foot when they join in the privatization chorus.

3. He was

looking in a mirror as he said it....Are they so dumb as to not understand that the are "public" employees?

8. in Kansas, they are only part-timers

They don't make the kind of money Wisconsin legislators do, for one example.

[merrily]

13. No, they are not. But, they think voters are as dumb as dirt.

Plus, he's not a public employee who is in union.

4. So he's saying that he himself is a useless POS?

I can't tell anymore whether they are just pandering to the idiots who hate "government workers" because they had to wait a few minutes at the DMV or whether they actually believe this shit.

5. Let one of them hit a pothole and see who they blame.

[ZombieHorde]

6. Let's compromise.

We can fire all the police and soldiers, and keep everyone else.

7. May he return to his office

and find all of his staff -- public employees -- on strike! Let him schedule his own meetings, prepare his own documents, answer his own phones, handle all of his constituents' requests, etc. IOW make him actually WORK !! Ungrateful POS.
