Welfare State Supporters along with many Public Sector Union Supporters protest Alberta’s public sector rollbacks! – February 29, 2020,
If you’re a Millenial, chances are your teachers, your mother, father or caregivers were Baby-Boomers, what this means is that if you didn’t seek independent knowledge that wasn’t derived from the Canadian education or political systems, there’s a very good chance that you have a collectivist or entitlement state of mind. If you even know what a Libertarian is and you didn’t learn about what a Libertarian is via an alternative means, there’s a good chance your parents knew about the disasters created by the Baby-Boom Generation would cause.
One of the problems created by Baby Boomers was the welfare state, I’ve often argued that the worst part of the Welfare State isn’t Welfare checks, it’s the UNIONISED people working for the public sector. If you’re wondering why the Canadian dollar has to be so low, well, it’s because taxpayers have to finance our ballooning public sector. Understand that government wages that keep up with the inflation are their war on the Private Sector. Also, be advised that Canada and Australia shouldn’t have currencies that are near parity.
Australia is an Oceanic region, Canada borders with the United States, we barely have to defend our borders, where Canada is geographically giving us a great advantage, Canada should be the richest nation on earth without question, however, the reality is Canada like many other countries has a politics problems. The Vampires who leech off the Private Sector in Canada got a taste of blood and they refuse to take their fangs out. Why has this happened? Because protesting has worked for Canada’s Public Sectors if something works why stop doing it?
The Conservative approach to correcting this public sector problem is not to increase the public sector spending that much… But, what the Canadians Conservative Party should have done is what the Former Governor of Puerto Rico Luis Fortuño did. What did Luis Fortuno do? He did what was necessary and allowed the Public Sector union to complain and they got tired! Public Sector people are sprinters, not marathon runners, there Public Sector workers who can survive in the Private Sector, but most of them can’t, working in the private sector is too hard for Public Sector workers who love to protests.
Public Servants who love their job, thank God(or the higher power) every day for the opportunity they’ve been afforded. Working for the public is a privilege not a right! Because Public Sector Unions exist in abundance in Canada, a lot of public servants believe they’re entitled to their positions, they believe it’s their right to work in the Public Sector and it’s their right to be paid an above-market wage! I laugh at Jerry Dias and any fool who joins UNIFOR all the time, but most of the time when I report UNIFOR protests, it’s a private sector company going on strike.
I’m a firm believer that Private Sector Unions have a right to exist, now I personally wouldn’t join one, but they have a right to exist. Public Sector Unions on the other hand, no, you protest government policies as a public servant by QUITTING! If you can’t be replaced the public service will crumble without you, but we all know that most public servants won’t quit because they won’t be paid that high of a wage in the private sector.
So instead they protest, now if you’re a young person that doesn’t comprehend how a public sector paycheck is financed and if you assume that tax collection has absolutely nothing to do with how a Public Servant is paid, well, chances are you’d have little push back to the demands of the public sector and welfare state supporters.
It’s only when you realize that reason that your rent is so expensive, your energy costs are so expensive, your food and general cost of living costs are so expensive is because of the Public sector that you start to realize why those of us on the political Right feel that the Public Sector is fueling poverty!
If the cost of everything you bought tomorrow went on sale by 75% and the price stayed there for an extended period of time and you learned that the reason prices were so high was because all of us were financing public sector employees and welfare recipients, would that change your perception of poverty? It might not change everybody’s perception, but it would wake a lot more people up to how expensive running our bloated governments are.
