Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

December 16, 2009

During an economic downturn, private businesses cut costs through layoffs, pay freezes, and even pay cuts where necessary.
Government, which unlike private business produces nothing and engages in pure consumption, behaves in exactly the opposite fashion.

USA Today recently reported that ?Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession?s first 18 months ? and that?s before overtime pay and bonuses are counted.?

While productive people face job losses and prolonged economic misery, for federal employees the deepening depression is ?an extraordinary boom time in pay and hiring?.?

The average federal employee ? the word ?worker? is inappropriate ? is paid $71,206, as compared to the $40,331 earned by the average private worker.

The government is a parasite that is killing its long-suffering host.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
