To me there is no difference as both are non-productive, only difference is the civil servant gets paid 5 times more per week, than the poor person on the dole.
The disadvantage is the civil servant signs on 5 times aweek and the doler once.

Dammit your right! A revolution is called for. Man the barricedes, make the molotov cocktails and dispritute the pitch forks! Then we will march on the capitol and... oh wait, its nearly much time.Originally Posted by Milano
Dolers at least don't have any right to interfere in our lives.
Civil Service is just a make-work-scheme to soak up the lunatics who otherwise would otherwise engage in a commie revolution.
I suppose paying off civil service types is a reasonable compromise to avoid a totalitarian communist state.
Waging battle against them would be most tiresome, easier for us in the productive sector to work twice as hard to support them.

Milano, welcome to P.ie, and, bless, did you tie your own shoe-laces today? There is fat in the C-S, there is "fat" in all organisations, but without it lots of nice things just would not work. have a look at the IPA yearbook, or even go onto some govt website and you'll see the wonderful things that the C-S do.
They are not perfect, but without them we would not have a functioning society.
Civil Service - dole for the middle classes.
I passed the council lorry that collects the bins this morning - one driver, one sitting behind him and two wheeling the bins

Much like when any state service is privatised. In the short term you'll be up on the deal, but long term yer f€ck€d...
Having worked in the private sector, public sector and freelance - there's chunk of wasters across the board...
Of course theres a need for certain front line public servants,put 50% could be outsourced,let the people that know the system in the civil service create businesses put pick the slack.
