There Are too Many Bureaucrats and They Are Paid too Much

America has too many bureaucrats and they are dramatically overpaid. This mini-documentary uses government data to show how federal, state, and local governments are in fiscal trouble in part because of excessive pay for a bloated civil service.

I love how this guy thinks that making one group poorer will make another group rich in this country. Even if we took away all bureaucrats income away and gave it to blue collar workers, we are still only playing with a tiny fraction of the money in this country. Its like pitying slaves against other slaves because one group of slaves gets to take a 15 minute break and the other group thinks they should get 7.5 minutes of that break. Both are forgetting the fact that the game is rigged to start.

When American workers are paid the same that workers in Mexico are paid, Americans For Penury will have accomplished its mission.

Remember it's not about republicans or democrats etc. It's about all the bureaucrats and their failure to accomplish anything. Our governments greatest power is their power to calmly coerce us into doing what they want us to.

I agree that Bureaucrats are paid to much; just as CEOs, Football players, and members of congress. WE THE PEOPLE need to start a grass roots organization to force drastic pay cuts to any and all that hold office, or play a professional sport. Hotdogs at the game should not cost 5-6 bucks, and gas should be no more that $2 a gal. And another thing that kills me is big corporations trying to justify packing up and going over seas, like to China. They say...

There are too many government workers all over the world. Yes, they get paid too much. The cause is inflation. In the old days, the man went out to work, and his woman stayed at home. Inflation means that both partners have to go out to work to make ends meet. When you are having trouble with a bureaucrat, it is always seems to be some stupid woman who is getting under everyone's feet. If it is a man, he is nearly always a homosexual. Office jobs should be for men only.

@uncleezra1 I don't think so. Hippies are ineffectual and vacuous, for the most part. Most of them became the conformist freaks we see now shreiking that Feds are overpaid and too generously compensated, all part of "sticking it to the man!" don't you know? Don't worry though I have an idea.

@gwrestore Why is it that in the media we are drastically outnumbered, but on the streets, people fall in behind Federal workers and defend them?
