3 men in a smallish boat came to the end of our slough, peered at the woods with binoculars". This does sound suspicious...". As long as one is not a woman I guess I'll be safe.

Hound - I am happy you are wealthy enough to pay more investment taxes in one year than I earn. You are enjoying the benefits of capitalism so I don't understand your socialist leaning. Even though I am not so rich I have paid a minimum of $50,000 taxes in each of the past 10 years. I fail to see that I recieve now, nor will I recieve in the future, a good return for my contribution.

Now, first off, shutting down the government completely is not a rational argument. You toss this out as a red herring to dodge the question I posed. Even on the local level, stopping all garbage collection can cause serious health issues in a short time. But let's make it a reasonable mental exercise...what if one half of the federal work force (NOT military) was fired across the board, and the half remaining were told to pick up the slack or they would be replaced by new hires from the private sector. Now at the same time, one half of all freight haulers stopped work (people invovled in transporting anything from point a to b). Which would have the biggest impact on our economy? I suspect our opinion on this one would differ.

Hound - My original question that you didn't answer was along the lines of why is the government / federal worker considered so much more valuable to our society than the average worker in the private sector that pays for the services of the government?
