Rant: "Public Service"

[stlouie_lipp]

I am so sick and tired of hearing politicians being called public servants, and their jobs public service. [expletive] you. A job is a job is a job. In fact, most of these "public service" jobs pay six figures and have great benefits. When did it become "public service" to have a good job? They make it sound like they are making a big, selfless sacrifice to help the huddled masses. Meanwhile, they work 9-4, have more days off than anyone else, cash a good paycheck, and retire at 60 with a great pension (mostly funded by taxpayers btw).

Sign me up for some "public service".

This is a great rant. These attention seeking whores do this for their own self interests. Nobody wakes up and thinks to themselves, "Hey, I want to make the world a better place. I think I'll go be a politician".
