I have to love this piece in the Courier... www.courierpostonline.com/article/20100523/NEWS01/5230343/Throngs-rally-at-State-House-to-protest-budget-cutsEspecially how the public employees union tries to make this appear as a grass roots effort, when it was noted they were pretty much the only ones there. As many commenters said...wake up! People are getting sick and tired of the sense of entitlement, and sick of the attitude that because I work hard you are somehow entitled to dig in my pocket. On the national front Uncle Obama and the Socialists are running rampant...looks like people finally have some sense in NJ.

Didn't reading that and the other public employee comments just make your blood boil?

It's frightening to me to hear complaints about how NJ is cutting this and cutting that ("it'll harm the children!!"), yet not wanting to pay the taxes necessary to fund the entitlements they so covet. I just read an interesting little column in the CP about "ME" versus "WE." It's so sad to see our society denegerate this way. www.courierpostonline.com/article/20100525/LIFE/5250307/1171/life/Let-s-reprogram-our-GPS-from-ME-to-WE

The way I see it, all I can control is my own behavior. Therefore, as the article mentions, if I behave enough as a "WE" maybe the "ME"s will get the hint. One can only hope.
