text: I'll vote for any party that starts to pull back on taxpayer support for public sector pensions and benefits.  80% of private sector workers fund their own pensions and less than 10% of private sector workers still have a defined benefit plan.  Only 50% of all workers have any kind of employer health benefits and this number includes the public sector meaning only 30% of private sector workers have such a plan.  In other words very few private sector workers have much in the way of workplace benefits anymore.  Therefore, the public sector should be paying their own way like the rest of us do.  What are we creating here a well to do aristocracy in the public sector with the rest of us as serfs.
