European Parliament Exposed

[Andres]

Well, their media keeps them pacified with other stories and polarized thinking it is all the other political party’s fault, so most sheepole don’t care.

If mainstream news is not upset, no one notices. Disgusting!

And so much for freedom of the press, they just keep the scoundrels in office.

And in Euro land, we have our own polarized thinking.

I don't know how it goes in other countries, but here they keep the plebs busy by making them blame:
- the, of course lazy, immigrants;
- the, of course lazy, unemployed;
- the, of course lazy, civil servants;
- the babyboom generation that wasted everything;
- the youth who doesn't want to work anymore;
- etc.

It is a common argument in regards to public service jobs that the high salaries and perks are to ensure that people don't leave for the public sector where they can apparently make far more. In reality, we call this argument "male-cow manure".

Of course it's "male-cow manure". Not only is it questionable that these people could earn more if they actually had to work a normal job for a living. There's also the question if it is ok and defendable that some CEO fill his pockets with billions every year, getting bonuses for firing employees who actually need their salary to live.

"Hey, but that guy over there could earn even more in the private sector!"

Why yes, being the professional crook he is, he most certainly is capable of filling his pockets somewhere else. What was the point of the argument?
