Is A Government Job A Real Job?
Ward also has said, "A government job isn't a real job. True wealth creation comes from small business." (Dan Popkey article w/quote here.)
This is a flat
out Fox News talking point, oft repeated by wingers, so let's unpack it a
bit. A 
government job is not a real job. Well. I guess, then, no
one in Ward's family has a real job, preferring to feed at the
government trough, while dissing it. Talk about biting the hand that
feeds it. Also, given that our military is now all volunteer and the
troops work for pay, those are government jobs. Not real ones, though.
Please, Vaughn, keep telling our troops that they don't have real jobs.
Police? Not a real job? Firefighters? Not real? Coast Guard rescue
swimmers who will drop from a helicopter into an icy and stormy sea to
rescue a fisherman? Not real? The helicopter pilot who fights to keep
the aircraft aloft in a storm to help the rescue? What a bunch of
pussies, the lot of them/IdaBlue. More here.
