San Luis Obispo residents facing tax fatigue

The solution is quite simple:

Tie the politicians’ salaries to the economy, thereby, making them feel the effects of their decisions where the rest of us feel it – in their pocketbooks.

Grossly overpaid salaries, benefits, and retirement packages are what eats up most state, county, city and school budgets. The agencies they create with non-elected administrators are just as bad.

‘Public servants’ with no legislation to rein them in, will always pay themselves first, will always fund their desires first.

They will always fund their own outlandish benefits and retirement packages first.

Children, education, the elderly, veterans, the homeless who are homeless because government regulations shut down their place of work, community needs, etc, be damned.

It is their personal lives, their dreams and wishes for themselves and their children, that matter most to them. They will pay themselves first.

They will meet and EXCEED their needs before attending to the needs of the people from whom they extort $$.

Look at the employee association/union/government contracts your ‘administrators’ sign onto for which YOU are responsible – and once signed on, these are NOT easy contracts to get out of, and VERY EXPENSIVE to pay out and be free of – so they’ve got you by the balls:

Most states, counties, cities and towns have to put out an additional 40%+ for benes and retirements from the base salary. So when your ‘administrators’, police, fire departments, schools, are already giving themselves 2x, 3x, 4x the average salary of their constituents, remember to add on an additional 40% to get the real cost to you.

Now you tell me what is it that all these government agents are doing that is so much more worthy than what you contribute to society?

The farmer is providing a service – they provide food required for life.

The construction worker is providing a service – building shelter from the elements for people.

The health care giver is providing a service – helping people be healthy so they can live productive lives.

The artists is providing a service – turning plain, ugly items into something pleasing and perhaps even usable.

The recycler is providing a service – keeping resources from being wasted.

All these vocations are contributing valuable components to society. Yet look at the wage, benefits, and retirement discrepancies between what they receive, and what a government janitor gets.

Until The People pass legislation that controls what government agents give themselves, that rightfully belongs to The People, because they got it from The People, you will have poverty, elites, and never ending tax increases.

I’ve suggested before, and I’ll suggest it again – make the salaries of elected officials tied to the economy – they can get no more than the median income of the constituents in their districts. That way, when their decisions improve the economy of their constituents, they get a raise with the rest of the community, and when their decisions prove fatal to the community’s economy, they get a decrease, just like the rest of us.

WAKE UP and realize that the people on the government payroll aren’t any better than you, and if you look at the headlines, they’re just as corruptible as you, so STOP TREATING THEM AS IF THEY’RE BETTER THAN YOU. THEY DON’T DESERVE A BETTER LIFE THAN YOU. STOP GIVING THEM ACCESS TO BE CORRUPTED. Especially if it’s a friend of yours – don’t keep them in office – do them a favor and vote them out BEFORE they get corrupted.

There are very few government jobs that should be held for more than 5 years.

Make that into law – all government positions cannot be held more than 5 years by the same person. Period.

It will induce more people to pay attention to their government since they will have a greater opportunity to work for it, and it will spread The People’s money to more people.

Most government jobs are learned within 6 months to 1 year. After that, the annual cycle kicks in, so there’s no need to have ‘lifers’ on the government payroll. That’s a deceptive, manipulating myth to keep the monopoly over YOUR MONEY among a few.

Besides, ever notice how government agencies are actually emasculating society? What do we need that for? Example:

A community forms and forms a volunteer fire department. Great. There’s a fire, the property owner, neighbors, and volunteer firefighters come together to help put it out. Everyone goes home feeling good they were a part of doing something good for another, and for the community.

One day they decide to get a paid standing fire department. All of a sudden, since that day, the homeowner is no longer considered capable of putting out a fire on his own property. Neighbors are no longer ‘allowed’ to assist in putting out the fire. People no longer come together to help each other out.

Nope. All of a sudden, all those capable people who could come together to do some good, are no longer ‘allowed’ to do anything but sit on the sidelines and be treated as stupid, ignorant in-the-way idiots – by the government agents who’s livelihood are supported by the ‘public’ they treat as incapable.

You have just emasculated yourselves and the people of your community.

People need to seriously start rethinking what kind of society they are creating with all these government agencies that disdain, use, and emasculate the very people they are created to serve, the very people that support their lives.

Wake up, Amerika – you’ve become a nation of not just ignorant, mindless sheeple, but pansies as well, and are blowing it big time.
