Just this week, RightChange released a video, "Government Killing Private Sector," which should prompt all taxpayers to call Washington and say, "Enough is enough!" The video describes the immense pay gap between government and privatesector workers.
RightChange is a group of independent and conservative Hollywoodanimators (yes, they exist!) who hold politicians accountable fortheir actions as opposed to merely being a sounding board for leftist ideas. Since its founding in 2008, RightChange hasdone an excellent job of producing cutting edge video content to communicatewith voters in a more substantive way than the traditional political soundbite.
The video opens with the warning that viewers willexperience nine levels of outrage.
Federal Pay Gap from RightChange.
In a far more creative way than I can do justice to here,the video reminds viewers of facts like:
- The average government working receives anannual salary of $79,000, while private sector employees earn a mere$50,000 on average. That’s a disparity of 60 percent.
- Even worse, government employees receive anoutstanding $49,000 in benefits, while the private sector only receives$11,000.
- Government workers also have nearly absolute jobsecurity. The unemployment rates of the two groups best demonstrate this point. A 9.6 percent unemployment rate exists for privatesector employees, while government workers enjoy an extremely lowunemployment rate of 2.9 percent. Of course,this prompts the question: What’s the point in doing a job well if one won't befired (or it’s extremely difficult to fire) for poor performance?
- Our current government is the largest governmentin the history of our nation, and yet still Obama is determined to grow it evenmore!
And just to think, as taxpayers we all have the pleasure offooting the bill for this!
For more alarming facts, watch the video! It offers a farbetter and more compelling presentation of why Americans should fight ourgovernment’s out-of-control spending.
