You can always get a government job, brain isn't required, and you'll get the kinds of perks and retirement benefits that are not available for most in the private sector... courtesy the hard working taxpayers.

This is such off the charts retarded propaganda.

The truth: IF you took 100 random government jobs. They would be jobs like, clerk, secretary, DMV person, teacher, cop, fireman, mail man, social worker, security guard, custodian, administrator, web developer,programmer etc.

Most of these are very real jobs, not that much different than in the private sector. Yes some of them have some benefits that FW is envious of. Some of them have contracts, which guarantee them certain benefits in exchange for committing to very demanding or somewhat dangerous jobs, starting at low pay, with contractual increases over time etc., and part of the salary paid in the form of contributions to pensions. The employees usually contribute a significant percentage of their salaries to these pension funds as well.

There's a lot of BS propaganda about all of this, and the union factor.

There are problems in some cases. Cities or states that haven't managed their finances well, and so on.

But jeez. So much stupidity concentrated in one person. How is that possible ?

people have never in all of history worked as much as Americans do today.

Americans barely spend time in their houses anymore. It's !@#$ing ridiculous. In case you feel bad, just watch some of the rich people on TV enjoying their lives, it's almost as good as the real thing.

We also probably consume more than any other nation in history. But not sure if the pain of work justifies the joy of consumption.
