public employees are taxpayers.
reducing their income further reduces tax revenue,
as well as spending within the economy.

It seems extremely short sighted
to imagine that stripping anyone's bargaining rights
and decimating their income
some how equates to "standing up for the taxpayer;"
unless you're referring to corporate and mega-wealth tax dodgers
as taxpayers.

The
"standing up for the taxpayer"
and
"government is too big"
hypocritical pretenses
have become so very tiresome.

Far too much factual information is available
too maintain these rhetorical canards
except to the most uninformed or misinformed.
