These people only work part time: according to their own schedule they're working at most 70 days this year. Not only do they get to collectively bargain for their own wages: they get to decide what their wages are.
Yeah, these guys make the same salary as your average Wisconsin teacher, get a public pension, but every day they go to work they also get their breakfast, lunch and dinner paid for at tax-payer expense! In addition, they get a whopping $30,000 a year for "office expenses!" They can rake in almost $100K a year with a little creative accounting!
And the worst thing is, all they do is sit around and argue! They don't do any actual work! They don't teach any kids, build any houses, or sweep any floors.
Who are these lazy, good-for-nothing public employee layabouts?
Wisconsin state senators.
Do these arguments misrepresent the true extent of what a state senator does and their value to the state? Yes. Has all the ranting about Wisconsin teachers and other public employees in the last month misrepresented what those people do, and their value to the state? Oh, yeah...

You've convinced me Nikto. I vote to fire them all. You seem to be describing a parasite that has grown to the point that it threatens the host.
But it's not just Wisconsin...
I've been all for eliminating the state senate - an institution that serves no purpose other than to provide a sinecure for a class of otherwise enfeebled citizens.
Unfortunately most former senators in the great state of California end up on some commission or whatnot collecting as much or more than they did when they were hustling for votes.
But I'm one of those crazy anti-govt types - what is your excuse?
