Overpaid Public Servants

It is amazing that right-winger think in order to have prosperity we need to lower wages for middle class people in orderr to give millionaires more money. It is as if people like sniperfire are retards who think that because they are unemployed and stupid that other workers most be also

Fact is government workesr are underpaid, but to right-wingers facts are bullshit
Are Government Employees Overpaid? Still No. | Rortybomb

You or the government is GIVING them more money?? GIVING THEM MONEY??

You got that all wrong troll....

In the system that you and your ilk promote... it is ok to treat others unequally by confiscating more because of your subjective view of fairness and what you BELIEVE they can afford or what you BELIEVE is enough.... yet you and your ilk will scream bloody murder when someone in your cause is treated unequally because that equal treatment would benefit them... it only matters when it is good for you, not just for the sake of equality and taking the good and the bad that comes with equality and freedom.... This is why you and your ilk make me fucking sick

Yes me wanting to pay teachers a decent wage and you wanting to make them poor in order to give millionaires more money is me treating people unequally
SO come back when your argument isn’t “making people poor is good because freedom”

No... the salary is on supply, demand, the skills in question, etc...

And again... you and the government are not GIVING any millionaire any more money.... they are earning their money and people are trying to protect others from paying UNEQUAL %'s of their money in taxation at the whim of your subjective 'FAIRNESS'... you feel that you or the government has the power to treat unequally WHEN IT BENEFITS YOU OR YOUR CAUSE.... you throw equality out the window when it is good for you to do so....
 
The real class warfare in this country isn't rich vs. poor, it's government employees vs. we, the taxpayers, who pay their salaries.

Working for the government is supposed to be a trade-off: You can't be fired and don't have to exert yourself, but you will receive smaller remuneration than in the private sector, where layoffs are common (especially in the Obama economy!). Instead, government jobs are safe, secure, pressure-free -- and now, amazingly lucrative!

Whether it's in Wisconsin, Illinois, California or the nation's capital, today's public sector workers expect to do little or no work (I'm not counting partying in Las Vegas as "work"), and then be lavishly compensated. Often, the only heavy lifting they do all week is picking up their paychecks.

When government employees mobbed the state capitol in Wisconsin last year, the upside was: They got to bully people. The downside: Voters finally found out what these public servants were being paid.

Their compensation included not only straight salary, but also lavish overtime benefits, pensions, health care plans, sick days and vacation time (most of which they spent protesting).

The unions thought they could fight back against Gov. Scott Walker's tiny rollbacks without anyone finding out the details. Most people saw what public employees were getting and assumed it was a misprint.

Two years ago, seven bus drivers in Madison, Wis., made more than $100,000 a year....

Yep, some government jobs pay well. Mine did, as a LEO I also have great benefits. Of course to secure my job I needed to pass a written examination, three oral interviews, two psychological evaluations - written and an interview - a full background check, a credit check and a full years probation wherein I could have been let go and never advised of why. I also need a four year college degree and for advancement a graduate degree.

For this I got to work most holidays, a rotating shift and deal with drunks, reprobates and miscreants, a few of which were elected officials.

Those 'bus drivers' likely worked many many hours of OT, a method used by city and county councils to cut costs. You see, paying OT does not require paying into the benefits of government employees which makes you so green with envy.

Who knew that the government mandating a salary is supply and demand. Clearly not anyone with a clue.
I see so when the government gives millionaires money they are actually earning it but when the government pays teachers to work they are not earning it. Have any more retarded things to say?
 
Perhaps some of you ought to rethink this and bitch about why private sector salaries and benefits are so shitty. Oh that's right....Reagan put the smackdown on private sector unions...which used to benefit even non-union employees in the way of competitive wages and benefits....including pensions. But, the powers that be decided that making already wealthy people incredibly moreso was more important than taking care of employees. That's the legacy of trickle down economics.

Public sector employees didn't fall victim to this.

So, instead of blaming public sector employees for making what private sector employees SHOULD be making...start getting angry at those that allowed private sector wages and benefits to be so extremely weakened.

There is lesser demand for public school teachers.. it is not a desirable skill that leads to great earning potential or profit.. hence the LOWER salary compared to something like an engineer, a technician, an assembler, or whatever

AND AGAIN... YOU FUCKING MORON.... THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT GIVING any millionaire ANYTHING.... they are keeping more of the money they already earn and not having it confiscated for your fucking redistribution schemes and overbloated government

Go drink down a hemlock smoothie... the world will be better off

It's funny, but I am a government employee and I in no way shape or form make more than those at the state level for the profession that I am in. I think the battle that those on the left are trying to wage has more to do with executive staff and politicians and making it appear that every federal employee gets paid like that, but it's simply not true. I know that destroys the whole narrative of what you might be trying to accomplish here, but on the same note I could give a shit less.

Yeah, it makes a bunch of sense to ask school teachers to take 20% cuts, so millionaires don't have to pay an extra 3% on income.....NOT

Would you rather the teachers take a cut to contribute more into their benefits, or for the ever decreasing working class tax payer to do all the contributing?
 
"Less than 20 percent of private sector employees get pensions. Most people save their own money for retirement -- for example, through 401(k)s. By contrast, government employees expect to be paid by us for the rest of their lives.

Former representative and amateur home pornographer Anthony Weiner was a member of Congress until he resigned last June in order to spend more time with his hard drive. He will probably end up collecting about a million dollars from his 80 percent taxpayer-funded government pension.

These are the "1 percent" deserving of the public's wrath: We're paying their salaries. We weren't taxed to pay Mitt Romney's salary at Bain Capital. We aren't taxed to pay the salaries of Jamie Dimon or Alex Rodriguez. Anthony Weiner? Him, we pay for.

Government employees expect to live like something out of the czar's court -- and then have us admire them as if they're Rosa Parks......"

lol

Anytime you copy and paste out of an article you are supposed to provide a link. Just letting you know before the board mods hammer you on it. I'll save you the harassment.

WHat is amazing is that you are so confused on how economics work. It has nothing to do with giving millionaires more money. It has everything to do with the middle and lower classes having more money to spend and put into the economy which benefits all. Those of you on the left are so hung up on millionaires it's hysterical to watch. It has nothing to do with them whatsoever, they are a pawn being used by this administration, nothing more and nothing less. If you confiscated every bit of wealth from everyone making more than $250,000 a year in this country it still would not be enough to pay down even half of our debt.
Keep buying into the rhetoric, it is entertaining indeed.

Same here as well, I work federal LE. Luckily I am at the seniority now where I can bid for decent days off and holidays, wasn't always the case though, I did my time working the crappy shifts and days. I make $50,000 a year, which is about average among Federal LEO not in executive positions. I dont know why so many people have it out for federal employees, we are not that much better off. I could understand being mad at the executives, they do however make too much money.
About the bus driver, he made $100,000 a year, while me being a federal LEO made $50,000. How in the hell is that even possible?

So?

This is the heart of this issue. You think someone busting their ass for a year working OT and pulling in $100K is wrong. So explain yourself.

Why should a hard working bus driver not get $100K in a year?

Really? That's what you bring? A generic range for "bus driver"? What kind? What region? Non union?

What a joke.

So according to you taking money away from from the middle class makes the middle class richer and you have the nerve to call someone else confused..
 
This coming from the person who believes that taxing less (but still above every lower income earner) is the government 'giving' to the millionaires.... like it is the government's income and earnings, not the individuals income and earnings... like it all belongs to the leviathan government and they best be happy with whatever the individuals are LET to keep to find the nanny state :rolleyes:
 
Wealth redistribution has never worked. The best system (capitalism) is imperfect but beats the hell out of the utopia you seem to imagine can be found elsewhere. You have to wonder why countries like Hungary, Czech Republic and Latvia aren't hard at work trying to recreate the Soviet dream.

Yes raising taxes on poor people to lower taxes on rich people who already pay less taxes then the poor is giving money to millionaires

Western Europe has 36% higher living standards then America
so if never working you mean increasing living standards you'd be correct
