Makers vs. Takers

Check out this article from WSJ.com about how more people now work for the government (salary paid by taxes, etc) than in manufacturing. And we wonder why this country is failing.

This could not be more true, and I have seen it first hand:

"In government employment, tenure for teachers and near lifetime employment for other civil servants shields workers from this basic system of reward and punishment. It is a system that breeds mediocrity, which is what we've gotten."
