the golden age of government unions is over

"People are finally starting to catch on .. at least we can hope that they are. The jig is up for government union workers. The people are sick and tired of footing the bill, in the form of tax increases, for the ever-increasing salaries and benefits of government union workers while they, the taxpayers, are having to cut back. Meanwhile, one would expect that the more you pay for something, the better quality you will receive. In fact, the opposite seems to be true: the more we pay to support government workers, the less productive and efficient they become. Of course this cannot be said for every government worker, but the system as a whole has returned very little for our increasing financial support. We, the taxpayers are, what the San Francisco Chronicle appropriately calls, "captive consumers." We can't choose NOT to pay taxes that fund government workers and their unions. This is different from the private sector where you, as a consumer, could choose to spend your money elsewhere, or not at all .. hence the word "captive." We are slaves of government workers, their union demands and the growing sense of entitlement in this country."
