It's not public workers. IT"S THE RICH, YOU FUCKERS

I'm watching Chris Christie blabber on about how public workers are bankrupting us and not a single mention of giving tax breaks to the rich.

Until Jamie Dimon is in jail, I DON"T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR BUDGET SHORTFALLS.

1. And the meme goes on about how x% Pay Nothing toward their benefits.

3. bingo!

I'm not familiar with NJ's situation specifically, but the national pattern is pretty consistent. Reduce the already low tax rates for the rich and make ordinary people suffer to pay for it. Until the rich pay their fair share and until truly counter productive spending (I'm thinking prisons specifically) is curbed, any argument based on frugality is automatically precluded.
