My mom said she is voting for Bush so she can keep her job. She is a government employee. Her boss and co-workers are also doing the same for the same reason. They might not agree with Bush, but they want to keep their jobs. At first I thought this was just a GSA rumor that was spreading around. GSA is the branch my mom works for. Then at work this guy told me that he is also voting for Bush even though he hates the guy because if Kerry was elected he would lose his job. Then a co-worker said his dad is doing the same thing too. That's a million+ people that will most likely vote for Bush so they could keep their job.
So what is the truth behind all of this? Are they all afraid of another Clintion repeat? Has kerry said he would cut jobs?
I'm sorry to say this, but I want your mom out of a job, and every other government employee as well. Government jobs are not what people think they are. They are parasitic, inefficient wastes of humanity.
Go become her boss and maybe you can fire her. However, I doubt you can since firing from the government is very hard. I will agee that there are a lot of lazy people in the government who take advantage of that system of not being easily fired.
I would never in a million years want to join the state, especially as some bureaucrat. It is not a matter of there being "lazy" people in the government, it is at matter of ethical principles. Your mother is being paid with money that was immorally expropriated from peaceful individuals. This is what people do not understand about the "public" sector jobs. They are parasitic. Every government job is a parasite on the rest of the economy, sucking away someone's earned wealth somewhere. I know that people in the government cannot be fired easily, and I think that it is horrible that this is the case.
One of my pet peeves is the fact that people cannot discern the difference between "public" sector jobs (which are illegitmate) and private sector jobs. One destroys wealth, while the other produces it. People in "public" sector jobs produce goods and services, but the production is artificially managed, and artificially doled out (there is often no rational reason why a particular person receives a particular government good). It is the difference between order and chaos, really. Bureaucracy and central planning is chaos, while private enterprise is order.
Hey my job is coming up for bid. You can have it! BTW, we produce a lot of Hydro Power .... One of the FEW Gov jobs that actually makes $$! I agree that there is a LOT of DEAD WOOD in the Govt ... I think we should start with the Presidents job.... Outsource it to the lowest bidder. That A$$hole has never worked in his life.... Pretty disgusting excuse for a human being...
