They are Obama’s middle class since the vast majority of them belong to labor unions. Their leaders recycle taxpayer money back into the coffers of their favorite democrats and then bargain with those democrats for more raises to come from more taxpayer money..etc…etc…etc… and now we have a bunch of pretty useless slugs making far more money than the taxpayers who pay them, doing mostly unproductive work that won’t be missed even if it goes undone. So, in some very real ways, they have very little in common with actual middle class Americans. And before you try the crap about how bad we need all these people, try to remember that the real middle classes don’t get much in return for their tax dollars. Our police make a career out of cleaning up the messes after crimes have already been committed, our teachers spend their time brainwashing our children to be politically correct instead of teaching them anything useful, and our firemen spend most of their days back at the country club station honing their cooking, ping-pong, and fantasy football skills. And government workers? My home just got randomly selected for the, second year in a row, for the bureau of the census to ask me monthly questions about my work status, income and every other thing they can get me to tell them each month for the next 12 months. They even admit that only 60,000 residences in America get randomly selected every year for this honor. Let’s see, if there are 60,000 homes chosen out of about 80,000,000 in our country, the odds of getting your home chosen even once is about one time per every 1,300 years(about 16 lifetimes). Imagine the odds of being chosen two years in a row. The lottery gives far better odds. What the hell are they really doing? With government workers the question should be how many of these people are doing anything at all for the middle class?
