It
doesn’t matter whether you are a Democrat, a Republican or Independent. 
This list has to shock you.  Over the years, our politicians have created
this enormous pork barrel of agencies that employ over 350,000 people directly
and countless more via contracts with the State.

All
of these people get salaries, medical coverage and pensions at our expense and
almost all are unionized.  Take a good, close look. Unbelievable!

This
says everything about how governmental bureaucracies have overwhelmed our
budgets and confiscated our wealth
