To Elected Officials: You Sacrifice First
by Debbie Williams Wed Feb 23, 2011
All over the country, budgets are supposedly being balanced on the backs of working people. Not only is it wrong, it's a lie. And if you don't know that, you haven't been paying attention. OHbamaMama.
The one thing that is so very, very important for people to understand now, right now, is that government can help you. Because we the taxpayers are the government. I don't want a bridge to nowhere in Alaska, which Sarah Palin said she stopped. I don't think she stopped it, I think someone in Congress did because it was idiocy. I'd have to go back and look it up, but I don't think Palin stopped it because no one knew who she was then, and I wish to God we didn't know who she was now.
There are intelligent people in government, there always have been. There were even reasonable Republicans. But unfortunately, this country has been overrun by the anti-government conspiracists who believe government is out to do them in. And now we have them in government! Just wait until the Republicans shut down the federal government in March and no checks are going out. If they want a revolution, they're going to have one, and it won't be the Tea Partiers, it will be every single one of us who have paid taxes, social security and medicare for years and expect to get something back for our money.
Every elected official can cut their taxpayer paid salaries and benefits before they ever touch the people who work for them and carry their asses. When they do that, then we'll chat about sacrifice for everyone else.
Idiots.
I have never been a member of a labor union, but I support their human and civil rights to have a voice through collective bargaining. In Solidarity.
