Tax awareness RE: public employees

Tax awareness RE: public employees. If you dig through your states census data, You can find total goverment workers payroll by the month. A couple links to give you an idea about how to find the data: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/41000.html http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/AD ... n&-_sse=on If you dig into the numbers In my state an average taxpaying family is paying over $500.00 per month out of their budgets to fund the payroll of state-county-city-water district-sewer district employees. Have you ever thought about how much these public employees are taking out of your budgets? every month in oregon this payroll is drawing over 750,000,000 out of the tax payers budgets. 750 million per month! think about that number for a small population state like oregon. Dig up the numbers for california, It is 4.5 billion per month if my memory is correct. Every state is has this public employee problem. Goverment is too large and we tax payers are being sucked dry. If you are a tax payer you should know where the money is going. Every month here in oregon my family pays about $535.00 to pay goverment workers payroll. This dosn't include any other aspect of their cost, just their monthly payroll. No buildings, vehicals, fuel, office supplys, toilet paper, etc. Can you afford this kind of draw out of your family budgets?

That is pretty frightening. Every jurisdiction is struggling with this problem now, and as the liabilities come due it will become an ever greater problem.

Look at it like this. My family spends about $300 per month on food, Phone $60, electicity $100, Pet food $65 for $525 total. AND $535 to make oregon goverment worker payroll. Depressing

I lived in Oregon from 46 to 75, and loved it, still do !! But like my home state now Wa, much to liberal for my taste. Our whole country is getting the "government owes me a lving" mentatility, it is not sustainable. :evil:

Man, I agree with that. It is sad those states are becoming so liberal. I guess it is the California influx of people who sell their places in SoCal and move up to the North and bring their nuttiness with them. No offense to (SoCal shooters, hunters and gun fighters, cause you are in the minority). I love SoCal and think it is a great place, but the laws and rules are pretty insane. Scotty
