Always scapegoats

This is in response to the column "Public Workers Are Overpaid" (June 13) by Jack Kelly. My question is this: Why are public workers and the middle class always the scapegoats for financial troubles in all budgets?

I never see these people talking about taxpayer money being used for rich sports team owners to build their stadiums and arenas. I am so sick to death about hearing this stuff from these so-called writers. I'm sure Mr. Kelly makes a pretty penny writing.
