Disclosure
I write and edit this blog alone. I favour public education, efficient social programs, democratic trade unionism, free competitive markets and encouragement of owner-operated businesses. I believe journalists and public and quasi-public servants should be subject to stringent measures of accountability and conflict prevention.
I am not compensated for any opinion and views expressed are honestly held. Please, though, verify any claim, statistic, quote or other representation I make.
Very interesting. And very, very discouraging. I scrimp and save to get by on my meagre income and these 'public servants' make more in a week than I do in a year! Where is the accountability? I don't see things changing, even with a change of government. I don't expect a new regime would be able to change things without incurring a huge expense due to contract obligations, severances, pensions etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't expect my (and the 99%) income to increase by a factor of 10, much less 50!
Are we stuck with this disparity forever? Or just until I move to Washington?
Until Norm comes up with a possible remedy I can only remain extremely discouraged over his revelations.
