Striking Wal-Mart workers aren't just fighting their employer. They're fighting a whole system.

47. You are an insulting and mis-informed fool to suggest

that public employees are a burden to taxpayers or communities.
Public employees provide better services and at lower costs than any private sector business. In all cases this is true. The myth of lazy public employees is nothing more than a myth.
It is also a myth that private sector businesses provide more efficient or better quality products or services than public sector employees provide.
The goal of private sector endeavors is profit, to benefit the owners of private businesses. They and their employees expect, and receive, more generous compensation than public employees and they cut corners and costs where ever they can. This does not result in less cost to the tax-payer.
