Agreed!
Same could be said of our senate - and now a full-fledged partisan product. Pick your perks, great benefits, and its alright, you don't have to attend meetings if you're, say, vacationing, or um seeking medical treatment in Mexico or somewhere.

People just keep plugging on while these politicians line their pockets on taxpayers and on corporate dollars - I won't get in to the ways, there are threads on it, yah?

Occupy did address it - here anyway.

you don't have to pay taxes it you don't want to, oh wait you do.

Certainly you are made to pay employment taxes if you are in the government or corporate sector, also the obligatory sales tax, however it's possible not to pay any work tax if you are in the private sector IE: no store or extra employees, but like just working for yourself as 'Mr. X' working as a painter, or a cleaner, no official business name... As far as I understand it.

I'm concerned as I work for a corporation as a production baker but no pension or anything... yet they take money from my paycheck, just as much money as they do government employees but I won't get such a fair pension plan.

Sad, but I will treat the government just as well as they treat me.

I thought I was PO'd when they decided to just give themselves raises on our dime whenever the hell they want but this just infuriates me. I've spent my entire highschool and adult life working and educating to get a good carrer, got downsized 6 months ago, and now struggle to find job openings let alone survive. An average story round this part of B.C. now, yet these lazy fat cats get a wonderful little package to live on. Makes me wish we'd stop hoping someone will write a strong letter and do somthing.
