FEDERAL PAY

Federal employees make great pay.
That's the reason that so many stay
In jobs as bureaucrats -
They're employee fat cats -
And all the rest of us pay their way.

If that disparity isn't enough,
Here is more of that outrageous stuff -
For the federal corps,
Benefits four-times more
Than private sector employees. Tough!

USA Today, 3/6/10: "Federal employees earn higher average salaries than private-sector workers in more than eight out of 10 occupations... Overall, federal workers earned an average salary of $67,691 in 2008 for occupations that exist both in government and the private sector, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The average pay for the the same mix of jobs in the private sector was $60,046 in 2008, the most recent data available. These salary figures do not include the value of health, pension and other benefits, with averaged $40,785 per federal employee in 2008 vs. $9,882 per private worker, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis."

WHO PAYS FIT?

The top one percent paid more FIT
Than the bottom 95%... whee!
Wealth transfer is working -
Communism's lurking -
And it's coming at us rapidly.

Federal Income Tax data is for 2007

PENNSYLVANIA LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE - 2010

Leaders who are dynamic and bright
Will be speakers, to our great delight.
Each year the PLC
Is the one place to be
If your politics are on the right.

In just two days there's so much to do -
Network, learn and meet friends old and new.
It's a really great show.
Who should make plans to go?
