A fine example of Governmental expertise!

Certainly in the blogosphere, many bits and pixels have given up their virtual lives in the discussion of the Occupy “We are the 99%” vs the eveeeel “1%” capitalists who force Government to participate in crony capitalism.  Yet, the real 99% should be viewed as Society at large while the 1% are the Government workers (actually, the percentage is much higher, but go with me here).  The Leftists / Statists are all up in arms about the eveeeel capitalistic 1% with a vengence but go ahead, ask them about the “Governmental 1%”.

The Statists are still all about redistribution, but with a twist.  With the #OWS crowd, they want the redistribution flowing from the 1% to the 99%.  On the other hand with the “Governmental 1%”, they demand that the redistribution flow from the 99% to the 1%.  Cognitive dissonance or intellectual dishonesty? Yet, study after study has shown that when all issues are factored in, the Public Sector is oft compensated far higher than the equivalent job in the Private Sector.

One of the reasons that they do the puffery on is “Government workers are more educated and have more experience than Private sector workers”.  Hmmm, well, let’s see what you think when you review Exhibit A”:

I think I would be safe to say that the above is not exactly a paragon of English excellence.  Let’s leave off the fact that many of the Government workers, teachers, have comparatively lower SAT scores (in the bottom third) and lower GPAs of those going into college;  I think the above will at least cause some head scratching at the moniker of “best and brightest” at this simply brilliant example of D’oh!
