Originally posted by cardinal43 So, if the private and public employers both operate the same way, and do the same thing, why are you blaming only the public employees for this?
Because by definition no public employee
produces anything, some are just worse at producing nothing than others. Private employees are all productive contributors to our wealth... and private companies should handle dead wood the way they want to, and are only limited by the jack boot of government regulation on their necks.
In fact, private employees should have no obstacles placed on their becoming the most productive in the world, again, and to lead US Business to a golden age of profits! Yes, the American worker can be as productive as the Chinese, or Indian, or Korean, or Malay!
What's standing between today and this golden future: labor unions, and the lax largesse of the private sector and its stubborn refusal to see economic reality.
