Yesterday's Rocky Mountain News contained this letter to the editor:
It appears some city workers are not willing to live with the same risks the rest of us with real jobs have - i.e., when things get tight, layoffs happen ("New mayor gets earful over city workers' pay," July 31).
It's about time they realize they are not part of a privileged class but are the most expendable workers there are, since they live off the productive efforts of the rest of us. Hence, the less of them the better.
Man has not invented a mechanism less efficient at recycling money than a government. If these mullets don't like it, they should go out and try to find a real job in a company that has to justify its existence through profitability rather than leeching off the rest of us.

Larry, let me tell you, I know a lot of city workers. I can vouch for the quality of their character. Let me assure you, you don't want them to find out where you live. I hope 'Larry Heesch' is an assumed name.
