Americans cannot maintain their essential faith in government if there are two Americas, in which the private sector's work subsidizes the disproportionate benefits of this new public sector elite.

Millions of public workers have become a kind of privileged new class - a new elite, who live better than their private sector counterparts. Public servants have become the public's masters. No wonder the public is upset.

The 'private sector' of the economy is, in fact, the voluntary sector; and the 'public sector' is, in fact, the coercive sector.

When the private does well, there's revenue for the public sector.

If you have faith in the public sector, as I do, you must be the harshest critic of corruption, waste and fraud in government.

Private sector labors unions continue to suffer losses in their membership while public sector and service unions grow.
