    Targeting young people for traffic tickets

    Heck, they sure did this when I was young. I really doubt the practice has stopped.

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...uotas/9721623/

    Here's the real significant part of this story:

    Wysokowski began working at the police department in 1998 for $36,425. As of last year, he was earning $99,192 annually, but after 16 years he remains a patrolman.


    A near tripling of pay in 16 years without really moving up in the ranks?

    This is a very graphic example of how runaway government worker pay is. It is no wonder the American people are being taxed and "fee" charged to death.

    Read the article. It doesn't happen often, but I am on the side of the cop on this one. It seems like he didn't want to just write tickets - I'm cool with that.

    But that amount of pay? Whoa. That is kinda mind boggling.

    Our local sheriff kept pushing to raise the sales tax, and when he lost that battle, he acted like a sore loser and told us that cops would no longer show up at traffic accidents.

    Wow. A truly devoted public servant. I'd fire that thing on short order were I a mad dictator.
