Firefighters, cops, and teachers are great. But it's about fairness. They should be paid a reasonable amount, and fired if they can't do the job. The same as you or I. If they can't be fired, we end up with incompetent people doing the job, and if they're overpaid, we don't have enough people doing the job.


You want them to be paid well, but remove the mechanism to bring that about.

It's amazing how well ALEC style propaganda has worked. The problem with this country isn't billionaire plundering, but greedy poors and public servants making $20/hour! Grrrrr...unions! Remember when unions were at the height of their power from the 40s-70s? What a destitute shithole America was then! Thank god they're finally out of the way and the middle class is enjoying an unprecedented age of prosperity.
