In response to "Yeah, I need to post there different than here. That was my bad. I still feel the way I do but I couldn't have worded my thoughts much much better." by Bacon

Understood, you don't need to apologize for feeling the way you do.

Overall, I'm somewhere in the middle. The state budget problems are certainly real across the country, and everyone should give some to make it better, but it seems certain folks are being asked to give perhaps more than their fair share.

Well my thoughts are the private sector has been giving for 3 years while the Public Employees retained a status quo. So to catch them up the cuts - Bacon Feb 24, 18:48 17

  - That is all good. What would you do though? Raise taxes or cut Public Salaries? - Bacon Feb 24, 18:58 3
    - Your entire state budget is salaries? - ty97 Feb 24, 18:59 2
      - If you count pay and retirement is the majority of the budget. - Bacon Feb 24, 19:06
      - also, raise taxes. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 19:00
- why should public employees suffer because private sector employees might have? - moles Feb 24, 18:51 11
  - Really? The example I used on Facebook was. I have had my wages frozen going on my 4th year. Public Unions in Oregon have had wage increases of 5-7 - Bacon Feb 24, 18:54 10
    - how is that their fault? - moles Feb 24, 18:55 9
      - Hilarious -- nm - Bacon Feb 24, 18:56 8
        
        Your logic is flawed. Just because you've taken pay freezes doesn't mean someone else should have to. - ty97 Feb 24, 18:59 7
        
        sounds like he's saying that he is tired of having a stagnant salary while having to pay increased taxes to pay for the raises state employed workers - dogbert Feb 24, 19:09 5
        
        Doesn't sound like his taxes have increased. Sounds like the *could* - ty97 Feb 24, 19:13 4
        
        my taxes have increased. DMV license is up. Gas tax is up. I could go on and on. Trust me they have raised our taxes and fees over the last three - Bacon Feb 24, 19:17 3
        
        fees are not taxes. Republicans know that -- nm - moles Feb 24, 19:19 2
        
        It's money out of my pocket to pay for Government. = TAX. You did see my IM with my $700 property tax increase right? -- nm - Bacon Feb 24, 19:21 1
        
        (he was being sarcastic) -- nm - loosilu Feb 24, 19:22
        
        My comparision is valid. The only way to keep them in the same great situation is to raise taxes on me. OR they can share the pain with the rest of - Bacon Feb 24, 19:01
