Who Do You Work For?
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Most of us have attended functions where there is a round of self-introductions. It also is quite common in social events. You give your name and in all likelihood who you work for. Instead of answering the question related to who provides your paycheck, perhaps the more appropriate answer should be who benefits from you getting the paycheck you receive.
If that were the case the appropriate answer would be government bureaucrats, teachers and those who our elected officials determine should get what you’ve earned – because they should have what you’ve earned. If your income is great enough, you will be able to have extra resources from your efforts to also provide for yourself and your family. How fortunate you are that those who you have elected have not yet required you to pay more from what you and your family receive in order to increase the portions going to government bureaucrats, teachers and those who they believe should get what you’ve earned.
Having said that, those who you have elected to represent you at the state level have increased the portion of what your owe for the support of bureaucrats, teachers and those who they have determined should get more – reducing your portion of what you earn. In Washington, D.C. we will likely see a similar outcome, given the rate at which those who you have elected to represent you are spending.
With those who you elected to represent you in Washington, D.C. working to install a federally operated health care program – what you earn for yourself and your family will be reduced more. With their consideration for the climate change legislation you will also get to reduce what you earn for yourself and your family.
At some point in time you may wonder why you spend the time you do attempting to earn for yourself and your family what those who you elect to represent you so quickly acquire. You may consider the advantages of changing your status to becoming someone who your elected representatives determine should get what others have earned. We would hope that you decide to elect different representatives – representatives who decide that it would be better for you to keep more of what you earn for yourself and your family.
