Exempt means exempt from labor laws such as being made to work 60 hours a week and only get paid for 40 without comp. time. No overtime pay ever. Welcome to my world. Not bitching 'cause at least I got a job that can put food on the table. You gotta do whatcha gotta do. Last Edited by tkwasny on 03/08/2010 07:30 AM |

Only with welfare, you don't even have to pretend to "work". |

The government jobs are where private sector jobs should be if they kept up with inflation. I blame the private sector management and not government. If the private sector management innovated and had good management abilities instead of shipping jobs over seas and claiming intelligence then the private sector would be higher. |

The unions have come in and seen to it that they and state workers make great wages and a great retirement. Unions Obama's army are the ruination of our governments budgets. Lets take a firefighter in LA.. retires with a 147,000 annual retirement paycheck.. its 100% of their wages. Thats why the states and our federal government are going broke. |

Sorry but that is wrong. The money going to fund the government jobs is sapping the money from those that pay the private sector.

For example, registered nurses often have 4 year degrees. Part of the gov't pay scale system is organized by years of college and experience. So nurses with 4+ years of college get paid (somewhat) based on that much education, whereas nurses out IRL don't get paid as much as their education should earn them. On the other hand, engineers make MORE out in the real world than the usual person with 4 years of schooling, so they have to have a special pay scale, but they still get paid less than the private sector engineers. This is all because the dummy, one-size-fits-all pay scheme that the government uses, doesn't really take into account difficulty of degree work or market value of the work product. |

We are paying less in taxes now than at any time during the last 30 years. You can thank Bush for that. |

They also learned quickly how to exploit the system by using the unions to whittle away the concept of personal accountability. It is also true that there are far MORE federal employees who are trying to do the best job they can than those parasites they have to work with. Last Edited by GSB/LTD on 03/08/2010 11:41 AM |

Yes we are thankful for our jobs if you like working in a prison environment come on aboard join us they promote you if you play dumb or are dumb if you're intelligent and a creative thinker you are denied promotional opportunities and you are given low evaluative scores.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 909968Private wages are lower because capitalists destroyed their own workers over the past thirty years. This is a ridiculously false claim. Why you're always broke: 40% of your money goes to taxes Between federal, state and local governments in the United States, about 40% of Americans’ income goes to taxes and various statutory fees. And that’s why you’re having so much trouble getting ahead. [link to www.homelandstupidity.us] Don't you think 40% of people's income being taken by government has a lot to do with their wages being 'too low'? I don't know if this even factors in inflation. And it is unlikely that it factors in the endless indirect costs. Not to mention that the United States is nowhere near capitalist, and has not been for a very long time, making the entire argument rather silly. The Myth of the Free Market: Fractional Banking and Private Currencies [link to video.godlikeproductions.com] Capitalism is an economic system in which wealth, and the means of producing wealth, are privately owned.[1][2] Through capitalism, the land, labor, and capital are owned, operated, and traded, without force or fraud, by private individuals either singly or jointly,[3][4] and investments, distribution, income, production, pricing and supply of goods, commodities and services are determined by voluntary private decision in a market economy. Michael Moore and Arianna Huffington agree that our problems are not the result of capitalism. [link to video.godlikeproductions.com] [link to video.godlikeproductions.com] |
