I Am a Public Employee

I am a public employee, I am not the problem. Wall Street made billions, crashed the economy, ruined lives and got bailed out. Average Americans followed the rules and got thrown to the wolves. Teachers, librarians, police officers, paramedics, firefighter and others are NOT the enemy. We live here, pay taxes, work hard and contribute to the health of the community.

The Kochs are longtime libertarians who believe in drastically lower personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less oversight of industry—especially environmental regulation.

And this stuff is so easily swept away while the public worker is being villified and attacked.......and for what? So some damn billionaires can reign in more of the hardworking American's money.

It is time to WAKE UP AMERICA, the mindless nodding in unison to the political rhetoric needs to stop. The rich just want to get richer and want workers to revert back to the times of Dickens.

Thanks JC for seeing the real meaning. We are all being dumped on for a situation that we didn't cause. I answer 24/7/365. Don't necessarily get paid for it, but I answer.

It is not our fault someone with a much higher pay grade than mine, and not even in my "food chain" has made bad decisions that effect the entire nation!

All the more reason. We all need a safe house to talk in and this is about as safe a group as it gets!
