[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These reactions- if you are someone who didn't value education or giving back, or even weigh the possible value of living in a city with stimulating cultural options, try and check your envy.

OP is right that a civil servant makes at least tens of thousands of dollars less than comparable private sector employees.  Some of you PPs are miserable and you deserve it.  And the [b]truth is there are many undereducated people in this country who are rightfully angry but need to turn a lot of that inward.[/b]  [/quote]

Many years ago, I would have agreed with this bolded statement, but not any longer. 
Not when our government is 20 TRILLION dollars in debt with very little to show for it.  Not when our education system is more concerned about the rights of transgender students than giving ALL students a quality education.  Not when I read comments - on this site no less - from government workers who are disgusted at the lack of initiative and work ethic of their colleagues and they themselves don’t feel challenged or feel there is enough work to keep them busy (yes, a whole thread dedicated to this topic).  Not when our government decided that our hard-working middle class citizens struggling to make ends meet should foot the bill for health insurance for those who can’t provide it themselves.  
I could go on, but these folks in “fly-over country,” as some of you call it, have every right to be angry.  [/quote]
