Demonizing public employees

Ned's many friends and dear sycophants will be aware that Ned has little sympathy for those few public employees, mainly public school teachers, who are always whining about their treatment, complaining about their pay and so forth. Having been such an intestinal parasite on the great long-suffering American Body Politic himself, Ned knows all too well that in most cases the job is easy to do (for those qualified of course) and the benefits and perks very satisfactory. However, when Ned hears persistent reports, confirmed by articles in the Nation's Paper of Record and elsewhere, of local and state governments planning concerted attacks on public sector workers in order to 'balance their budgets,' Ned must take up the great cudgel and beat back the Unwashed Hordes.
Ned agrees that there are pension abuses: the deals cut for firefighters and police smell to high heaven and must be remedied. But all these attacks on public employees are orchestrated with one intent in mind: to pit worker against worker and to draw the American public's attention away from the far greater threat to their well-being: the obscene and growing amassment of wealth by the Sneering Plutocracy. For it is clear to Ned that public sector working people represent just about the only middle class group left in America that actually still gets a decent day's pay for a day's work, that has some dignity left, that doesn't live in terror of being dumped like so much trash, that doesn't have to bow and scape to Massa for his or her job, and that can actually afford to pay its bills, take care of its families and pay taxes to support the economy. Moreover, unlike the Sneering Plutocrats and their rentboy lickspittles of the Republican Party they don't constantly whine about how unfair is their tax "burden".
So the next time, dear person, you hear another indignant Republican decrying the 'unfairness' accorded public sector workers, remember that this, if true, is only because PRIVATE sector workers have been economically sodomized by and large, over the past thirty years, coincidentally since it became "Morning In America."
