Tom Bethel Quote

"No government has ever commanded the resources at the disposal of our ungodly Leviathan, which consumes about 25 percent of the product of the world’s richest country. It is driven by a voracious alliance of government’s own employees, and those who receive benefits from the state. At least 90 million Americans either depend directly on government handouts or jobs, and each private worker must support not only himself and his family, but also carry a government worker on his shoulders."

Public Sector Unions and Unions in general have got to go. In the real world if they produce anything at all, it's of poor quality, overpriced and no one would buy it...that's why they have to be forced on us.  -- J Carlton, Calgary
And we KNOW how pleasant and competent those government workers are whom we carry on our shoulders...their images immortalized by Patty and Selma of The Simpsons. That's right, how many of us respect government workers? And the most cunning ones, like Clinton, make millions off of their gig.  -- Byron, Fort Collins, CO
-- John W Tobin, Newcastle
Way too true for way too long.  -- E Archer, NYC
