In Ohio labor fight, shared sacrifice for thee, but not for me - The Plum Line - The Washington Post
What a jackass.
Ohio is going to set the stage for 2012.
Because its not merited. I earn my pay. I think that was just political baloney. So they can say in an ad, `Gee , you know, they didnt support a pay cut. Well, no, I dont support a pay cut. Republicans earn their money. Apparently Democrats dont. They feel they should be paid less. That may be true. Maybe well just cut the Democrats pay.
Blessing also argues that public employees wouldnt necessarily see a pay cut as the result of the rollback of bargaining rights. But PolitiFact recently concluded that it was very likely that the rollback would lead to pay sacrifices.
Blessings clumsy attempt at sarcasm is awfully revealing. He simply doesnt think the sacrifices needed to right the states finances should fall on himself or fellow GOP legislators. When people say, Hey, if youre asking others to give something up to help the state, maybe you should do the same in the name of shared sacrifice, the rejoinder is nothing but scorn and contempt, as if the idea is plainly ludicrous on its face.
