A Government That Serves Itself

And then there's Oregon--here's a comment to a recent news item--

Comments on Oregon PERS: About 1 in 10 pensioners are rehired, draw a second public paycheck | Politics & Elections - Page 5 -: "The taxpayers are merely here to bucket slop into the trough for public employees to feed. We do not have a government that serves the people. We have a government that serves itself. "
