employee jobs so it will cost you $10,000 to send your child to the 3rd grade (and every other grade) and $50,000 for someone to come out and squirt water on your house if it's on fire. If you put yourself in the shoes of the corporate CEO's, you can see why they are salivating at the thought of how much money could be made from all of these jobs - "no charge" for these things we depend on is driving them crazy.

They believe the private sector always does things better than the public sector, even though an objective look at the evidence shows the exact opposite.

But that's pretty much par for the course in wingnuttery. You have to believe that up is down, down is up, and that if you give rich people enough tax breaks, you'll eventually get trickled on.

From what I read around Teh Intertubes and LTTE, We're lazy, overpaid, underworked, have really sweet benefits, pensions that pay more than what we got when we were working, yada, yada, yada...

Not sure RMoney believes it, but his mouthbreather legions do.
