Hound, glad to provide you with a chuckle.  For me, considering how much I pay in federal, state and local taxes it is just not all that humorous.  I sometimes catch myself sitting there, daydreaming about all the private sector jobs I could create with the cash the government takes from me at the point of a gun.....but alas, the blood sucking leeches will have none of that.  I used to understand and sympathize with those that went to work for the government.  Sometimes you had talented people that really went there for the lifestyle......lots of vacation and holidays, 9 to 5 hours, job security, decent benefits, etc.  Exactly why my wife went to work for EPA.  Good job, decent pay, good benefits, etc.

But I have nothing but disdain for those that take to the streets like animals when their payola is threatened, especially those that work for state and local governments that cannot print money to cover up their fiscal irresponsibility.  It would be like me demanding a raise and bonuses from my company when we are losing money.  Only the greedy and irresponsible would do that.......
