I urge you to be bold. Life isn't changed from the balcony. Get onto the floor and dance, dance, dance.

Those who purify your water, inspect your meat, and test your kids toys, as well as a huge number of nurses, teachers, and our soldiers, are public employees. The firefighters who don't hesitate to rush toward danger while you run away from it - they are all public employees.
