WI Capitol Blocks Pro-Union Web Site
ISoldat53 writes "State government workers are unable to connect to a pro-union web site, defendwisconsin.org, from the wifi at the state capitol." Someone probably should let Hillary Clinton know.

"most government workers are paid less than equivalent civil sector workers"
Bull. Shit.
Do your own homework. Why let facts get in the way of your lie?

Page 1. Look at the plots on page 1. Total comp from State & local is $10/hr more than private or Civilian.
Second, according to a recent study at the University of Wisconsin/Milwaukee, education level is higher among government workers than peer private sector, so your comment of "government jobs are good for people in relatively low-skilled jobs" makes me think you're either making everything up or worse, people in government are reaching for jobs not to their ability yet wanting to be paid like they are working to their ability.
Show me one job in the civil sector where you run a department or bureau with 500 employees and make less than $150K.
So what? What does that 500 employee bureau do? In the real world (that is, business world), that group would at the very least be running a business worth tens of millions of dollars and might even be billions of dollars. In the government world, that bureau could have negative value (that is, it destroys value in carrying out its role), in which case, the manager as well as all the employees should be paying rather than receiving money.
