I am a "Public employee"...The community I work in pays $27 per Household (3-7) people for services per year. So, if there's 4 people per household, that's about $6.75 per person per year and that's less than 50 cents per month! That sure as Hell ISN'T Paying Anyones' Salary, let alone for "services".
As for my "Pension", we have an Employee Owned Pension Plan, which I contribute to, but my Employer Does NOT. They do, however, from time-to-time try to "borrow" from My Private Pension Fund, but they sure as Hell don't own it...nor do the "tax payers" of which I am one. Not to mention Every-Single-One of my family are Tax-payers as well!
How about looking at the waste of funds that go to the salaries, perks, health insurance packages & pensions of the City Council, Board of Supervisors, Mayors, & State & Federal Legislature...all the while they waste our taxes and still take "contributions" & "gifts" from Big Business & Mega-Corporations.
How about the "bail-out" funds for the banks, oil companies, the oil spill clean-up for which BP should be paying, the $$$ we pay Blackwater, the $$$$ we give Senior non-citizens for Medicare & Social Security (into which they have NEVER paid a penny), $$$$ for a war in the Middle East where we have No Business being, $$$$ for terrorism against Palestine (whose land it was to begin with)? HUH? This is what your taxes are really paying for.......
Please STOP the BS & the Lies..... Open your eyes people, put the responsibility where it belongs, with those who supposedly represent us, but instead choose to represent the special interest groups who pay them behind our backs.....So keeping that in mind......My employer Does NOT pay into Social Security for me, I had to get another job (self-employed) for that and pay into it Myself.
When someone has a job and refuses to do it because they don't like it (as in Library Childrens Services & Storytime)...but gets a promotion to do the same job she's paid to do but is NOT doing now?
What the hell am I missing here?
Why is it no one asked about her qualifications?
BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling 
Congress: Stop the Next Oil Disaster
The Deepwater Horizon oil disaster claimed the lives of 11 workers, killed scores of threatened and endangered sea turtles, brown pelicans and dolphins, and devastated the Gulf Coast economy. The long-term ecological impacts of the disaster may not be known for years.
This week, the National Oil Spill Commission released its final report on the catastrophe -- but by itself, a report cannot avert another disaster.
Urge your representative and senators to take action now to protect America’s shorelines, wildlife and regional economies from another offshore oil disaster.

Last week a Girl Scout calls the library. She asks me if we will help her with her "Silver Award"...if we will allow her to put a book donation bin for Children's books in the library.
As this is something we normally help with, I ask her to call when my manager is back from vacation, that's today, and I tell her that he'll be in @ 10:00 when we open.
At 7:58 tonight (2 minutes before we close) this girl and her father come in DEMANDING to speak to my manager. The young woman who helped them explained that he left @ 6:00. They continued to harass her, ranting that not only has he not returned their calls, but he didn't respond to her e-mail.
She apologized and expained again, that today was his first day back and he was very busy (We had other cranks to take care of you know?)... They refused to accept her explanation and rudely demanded his contact information (which they already have).
Well, because of their rudeness (attitude of entitlement) I'm going to ask that we not participate in her award. I thought Girl Scout was a term of honor & represented "good citizenship". I guess that was back in the "good old days".
