And he even tells me himself, the work he actually does during overtime is a joke. So you have all these inefficient use of funds, and now they want to raise taxes just to pay more people like that? I really does make me mad thinking about it.

That is the ongoing issue with public sector, union-protected employees. I can't deny that.
However, I hope you have similar sentiments for the private sector as well, particularly paying high interest to bankers and high energy prices to oil and gas companies who now more than ever seem to be making out like bandits on individual wealth. While it's a little more complicated with private companies, the general idea is the same.
