At some point, there has to be a realization that beyond tax reform the only other area that the government can go after with the greatest effectiveness is the public sector and their benefits.

Or, the workers control the means of production.

A can of Coke costs 90c here - can get it for as low as 30c if you get a good 12 pack deal.
