#1 Compare the article to this one in the WSJ:
America's most privileged class are public union workers.
Government workers receive a 45% premium in pay & benefits over the poor saps who create wealth in the private economy. So if your state is broke, this is a major reason. Eventually, governors, state legislators and city council members are going to have to decide whether protecting America's privileged class of government workers is a higher priority than funding such core functions of government as public safety. Something has to give. It's time to close the biggest pay gap in America.
