Of Course We Hate Government Employees: They Represent Everything Bad In Our COuntry (Except The Media/Entertainment Complex)

It's "Reason," so the subtext is because government won't let them smoke marijuana while overseeing their H1Bs. But the point stands...more and more people seem to be expressing their contempt of and dislike for government. And to the liberals who squawk about it, I have to bite back, "tough shit. What the hell did you think was going to happen when you voted for big government? Are you really that stupid?"
Government Employees Think People Hate Them. Increasingly, They're Right

"People actively hate us," one recently retired U.S. Border Patrol agent complains in a New York Times piece on morale and recruitment problems at the federal agency. In El Paso, an active duty agent admitted he and his colleagues avoid many restaurants because "there's always the possibility of them spitting in your food."

The contempt for the taxpayer and the pleasure of control just oozes from many government functionaries with whom I have dealt for many years. But as government grows, their reach grows apace. When government was smaller, we simply didn't have to deal with these people as much.

But now? The Leviathan indeed!
