Governor Beebe,                                                                                         <\/span>January 9, 2011<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your quotes in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s edition of the Dem-Gaz go far beyond arrogance.  <\/span>They demonstrate an utter disregard for the producers, i.e. the taxpaying citizens who generate the funds to keep the Behemoth known as the Arkansas State Government afloat.  <\/span>I, of course, refer to your announcement that you were awarding state government employees a cost-of-living raise of 1.86% across the board. How long has it been since you have seen Arkansas citizen workers and Social Security recipients get a raise?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our republic is in an economic free-fall to the abyss and the folks supporting it are struggling mightily economically.  <\/span>During your tenure you have increased the number of Arkansas state employees by a number somewhere between 3,000 & 4,000.  <\/span>The only way you can accomplish that is by FORCED REDISTRIBUTION.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you and those thousands of underworked, overpaid bloated government employees cannot make it on the salaries and perks they receive, then all should hit the road for greener pastures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then there is the matter of you giving $55.1 million to the slush fund of the failed government education system.  <\/span>Money does not educate, as we have witnessed over and over and over again. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Citizens, please call your elected senators and representatives and urge them not to vote for the Governor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s vote-buying expansionistic scheme. <\/p>\n
