Feeding the Swamp

[RDN]

It has come to a point that our only purpose is to generate revenue for this ravenous government.
Does anyone share my feeling about the relationship between US citizens and the government.
You'll understand why after reading this:
'Mapping the Swamp' report finds 30,000 feds earn more than any governor

For emphasis, from the article.

"According to the report, the number of federal employees making $200,000 or more increased by 165 percent between fiscal 2010 and 2016. Federal employees making $150,000 or more grew by 60 percent, with the number making more than $100,000 increasing by 37 percent in the same time period. "

Go ahead and think about it. What did YOUR last raise look like?

I just got 2.7% starting first of the year, but 2.7 of what I make won't get me there.

No raise for 2017 and likely no raise for 2018 either.
And they took our bonuses away permanently.
