Since when is volunteerism paid at all? |

Was there ever a shortage of people with their hand out? You have a very strange point of view. Since when are government jobs (someone has to do them) "welfare"? Since when is volunteerism paid at all? You also have a very strange point of view! Government jobs have always been the root of welfare. (When the public welfare was reformed then President Clinton ordered thousands put on the federal payroll to "Employ them" Elevator operators for the Pentagon, for automatic self serve elevators. etc.) IE: Position paid by the taxpayers without responsibility for the outcome or result. Show me anyone in any government position who is held responsible for the damage they do, or failures to perform! Never happens, or rather so rarely it is a major news event, when was the last time you heard of a government employee held responsible! None of the positions listed are actually Volunteers! All are paid, although some are called compensation. Pay, Salary = Compensation. No difference. There used to be volunteer fire men, and other "Public Service positions, but not much anymore, the Unions are using these positions to extract moneys to enhance the political position they uniquely espouse! That THEY OWN these positions! |
