While we're throwing rocks at teachers and firefighters, would you consider the trillions of dollars that the GOP made off with during the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" smash and grab job fraud and theft?

What about the pensions of workers (many unionized) which were obliterated by corporate restructurings during the financial crisis?

It is absolutely fraud. The whole idea of public service is that you make sacrifices on the front-end, the public takes care of you through benefits and retirement. There were kindergarten teachers making $120K a year for 6.5 hours per day and ~180 days year. True, they had a masters and 15+ years of experience.

EDIT: The often worked much more hours.
