Who?

From The Boomer Bible, Book of Hallites


Chapter 11 (beginning at the 5th verse)
If people rant and rave about budget deficits,
6  Threaten to raise taxes.
7  If they object to higher taxes and start talking about waste in government,
8  Lay off some police,
9  And some firemen,
10  And some garbage collectors,
11  Because the only reason people like that are on the government payroll in the first place is to be visible,
12  So "the people" will think they're getting something for their tax dollars, that is, something other than your white Monte Carlo and your great pension plan,
13  And so "the people" will see that there's no alternative to a tax increase when police and firemen have to be laid off because everyone else on the payroll is so indispensable.
