Should public employees be allowed to vote?
I sometimes ask myself this, and it seems so contrary to how things ought to be that I tend to dismiss it.
The question usually occurs when I encounter some event/story which highlights the potential and/or actual conflict of interest when employees or (in the case of public employee unions) groups of employees can elect their employers.
So I decided to put the question to you all: Should public employees be allowed to vote, and what rational supports your position?
