I Am The Ruling Class, Who'd A Thought

From John Foster's blog.

Mortimer Zuckerman says,

Forget the corporate rich, forget Wall Street, forget the bank bailouts, corporate bonuses and high-income tax breaks, forget the private jets and mansions. It is the millions of “public servants” with their outrageous five-digit salaries and their galling health insurance and retirement pensions, Zuckerman insisted, who have now become “the public’s masters,” seizing a disproportionate share of society’s rewards and bringing on the failures of the U.S. economy.

Whoo Hoo!!!!! I AM THE RULING CLASS! Ok then, everyone listen to me. Urumph. (About to speak...)

Cue the crickets.

John Foster goes on...

What we are witnessing is a concerted attack on government at all levels, extending to public sector workers and their unions. It is out of control government spending, we are told, that is at the root of all our economic woes. Public sector workers, it is claimed, enjoy higher salaries, greater job security, and more ample benefits than their private sector counterparts, while continually demanding and getting more. It is time that they shared in the crisis of the rest of the society.

What? Doesn't it make sense to want to enact policies and take actions which result in higher salaries, greater job security and good benefits for all? Why would anyone insist that all should suffer? Especially a billionaire.

Just sayin' to myself.

Edit:
Five figure salary? I suppose his ilk will be happy when we are all earning a four figure salary compared to his ten figure net worth.
