More Govt jobs - Less taxes? It won't add up.

[chestnut]

Explain this.

If the trend keeps up, which has been for a few years now... that govt employees (local, state, federal) outnumber private sector employees -

Where the hell is the tax money going to come from to pay the govt workers?

I also never understood how we tax people who get paid with money that is collected from taxing people. Am I the only one?

At that point then the government just makes ALL employees government ones, comrade. Then it ceases to be a conundrum !

 

[chestnut]

Aye comrade. I say we get some Vodka and prepare to hunker down.

Yes, it will take great effort to meet our 5 year plan goals so best to stay drunk and quiet.

[Gipper]

Good lord...how and can anyone think more govt. workers than private sector workers is effective?

I bet there is someone here who can make the case.

It's impossible to sustain. There will be little tax revenue collected. This means to pay govt workers, Washington will have to continue to borrow.

It is unfortunate that those in favor of bigger and bigger govt and labor unions don't understand how the economy is supposed to function.
