Heads on a Stick’s Anthony Adams

Anthony Adams

  • Heads on a stick Assemblyman Anthony Adams.

    • Once again California is faced with a cash shortage. Once again The People’s Republic of California led by Republican Assemblyman Anthony Adams and the rest of the socialist assembly seem to think that the answer to their cash flow problems is to raise taxes and not cut spending. Here we are in the middle of a huge economic downturn and what is the soccialist answer to the situation? Take more spending power from the people in the form of taxes.

    The root of the cash flow problem in California is not welfare. It’s not Illegal Immigration either. Although these two factors are a big percentage of the problem, they are not the root of the problem. The root of the problem is that out of the 35 million people that live in California, ten million of them work for the state of California !

    This state has an over abundance of people that sit in offices and do NOTHING ! At every level the state is run by lazy dullards that can’t figure out how to tie their own shoes and to make matters worse they don’t care about doing a good job because they know they cannot be fired. Hell they can’t even be laid off.

    The State of California seems to be trying desperately to model itself after France. I don’t get it. Like France, every time the state talks about layoffs, the people go out and protest stopping traffic and damn near rioting because they believe they are entitled to a job. Case in point the latest teachers protest. They were simply threatened with budget cutbacks and they went out in force and protested. Sound like France? It does to me. As far as I can tell, the teachers in California cannot be all that good because California ranks 47th out of 50 states when it comes to test scores. It’s embarrassing.

    Here are a few things about this state and it’s employees that a lot of you may not know.

  • Contrary to what the California Teachers Association says, the average pay of a teacher in the state of California is $66,000.00 a year. Plus killer benefits and retirement. The teachers in my district (Bonita Unified School District) make more than $80,000.00 a year. All that money for what amounts to 6 months worth of work after all the holidays, staff meeting days and summer. Plus all of the schools have a principal and four vice principals that make more than one hundred thousand a year. Why does a school need four vice principals?
  • Firemen. These sorry sacks of ego make upwards of $150,000.00 a year with overtime. And there is always overtime because of all the fires that the firemen start themselves in the mountains. They get more overtime by covering shifts of vacationing firemen. Oh and get this. They get 104% of their pay in retirement! Hero’s? If they were real hero’s they would do their job for the minimum wage.
  • City and county workers up and down the state. These people too enjoy top pay and benefits. Yet routinely I see them sitting in parks screwing off and not doing their jobs. Same thing with retirement. They belong to CalPERS (The California Public Employees’ Retirement System) and enjoy a wonderful retirement at the expense of the taxpayer.
  • Cal-Trans. Part of the California Transportation Department. I have never in my life seen a larger collection of lazy fat union lackys in my life. I looked all over the internet to see how many people actually work for Caltrans but could not find an answer. When I called Caltrans in Sacramento the woman on the phone said that nobody really knows. Can you believe that? No one knows? I would bet more than half a million people.

    • Here is a link to California State Controller John Chiang’s website. It gives a breakdown of State employees. California has 237,000 plus full time state employees that draw 1.5 billion a month in salary.
    I sent Mr. Chiang an email and asked exactly why the state needs so many employees. I have received no answer thus far. Keep in mind this does not include fire, police, and any other county and municipal jobs. Just state employees. Take a look. JD
