I have some relatives and friends whose spent their entire adult lives working in government jobs -- U.S. military, public schools, criminal justice system -- and collect government pensions, yet consistently vote Republican, advocate reducing the size of government and demonize public employees. They remind me of a woman I met recently who had a hip replacement and spent two weeks in convalescent rehab -- all paid for by Medicare, yet decried the Affordable Healthcare Act as 'socialized medicine.'
Republic politicians/elected officials do the same thing. Don't they know that they are government workers? Isn't that the same as calling for yourself to be fired?
