When they are dealing with taxpayers in the private sector who shouldered bigger burdens decades ago, it should come as no surprise that there is getting to be less and less sympathy for public workers who not only don’t want to pay their fair share, but who show contempt for our system of government in the process.The Associated Press reported on the most recent example this summer, and it leaves a sour taste for private sector workers who faced even greater cuts over the past couple of decades. In those days, everyone from the elected officials to the talking heads on the tube just assured those of us taking the private sector cuts that it was the natural readjustment of the private sector system. Of course that “readjustment” meant we wouldn’t afford a new car, or go on extended vacations, or pay for our kids’ college.
