J.F.K. started this mess by allowing government workers to be unionized. It was a great move as it all but guaranteed a large block of votes for the democratic party.
Now that this is basically etched in stone what is wrong with making the new government employees save for their own pensions and pay at least 50% of their medical. I understand that the ones that have it now have been promised this perk and I would not want it taken from them. but why not have the new ones pay their way. The private sector does their own AND theirs now. It is only right.
Liberals are so happy to hand over cash as long as it is not their cash. What a bunch of smucks. I say flat tax across the board. And get rid of the union chains.
