In the Republican Universe...
...gummint employees are worthless drones, neither slave, overseer or
owner, just takers, looters and leeches.. They are contemptible, and deserve to be treated with contempt. There's a whole subspecies of Deplorable out there who is slapping his thigh right now, giving the Rebel yell and hooting "That'll learn 'em, durn em!"
The idea that there is an entire class of worker out there that has benefits, insurance, security, a pension and a Union is anathema to this crowd. They are convinced that if these parasites would just disappear, they could be entrepreneurs instead of wage slaves.
