When a Government robs Peter to pay Paul, it can count on Paul's support

So let me see if I understood this.

• Public Sector employees are public SERVANTS!
• Public Sector employees are the public as well!
• So when they go on strike, they are essentially striking against themselves?

Confusing or what?

When a government robs Peter to pay Paul, it will always count on the support of Paul. In this particular case, Paul is asking the Government to rob both Peter and Paul to pay Paul. Now is that stupid or what?
