Bureaucrats, not all federal employees. They're doing the same thing as everyone else.. trying to cut back wages for workers, they don't even hire people with experience for the FAA anymore to fix its systems. But the managers.. the bureaucrats that fatten up the system.. they get their bank.

I'm going to assume this is true for the sake of argument.
Do you know why? Because for 50 years Americans have bought into the "rugged individualist" nonsense, workers abandon unions, decided the wallstreet casino was a better bet than you know an actual pension, and the "private sector" has been happy to see wages stagnate benefits evaporate and record profits contribute to growing inequity.
Yeah you should hate government workers, they weren't idiots who abandon their only negotiating strength in favor of "going it alone"

Damn. The private sector needs to start paying more.

the fed used to hire so many people that local companies had to compete. it set the bottom wage for skilled employees, if you didn't hire them the state would and you got shit for talent if you payed less than the government. H1B visas are ruining that. we need to ban H1B employment or raise the minimum they can pay those employees to a higher wage than it would require to pay american citizens. the big oligarchs are pissed that americans expect to have the lifestyle that american infrastructure, american resources and american labor can provide, they want to turn all of that into their own personal profit, and screw over the americans.
it starts with getting money out of politics. vote for bernie sanders.

"Bureaucrats" sure is not a charged word and im fine with this because private sector workers are abused and underpaid.

Ding, Ding, ding, Ding, Ding. We have a winner.
This is more about underpayment than overpayment.

Yes, the tiny fraction of the one percent tapping into the emotions of jealousy to split the people apart and have them literally fighting against each other to reduce all wages across the board. It is perverse, but many fall for it.
