I'm hoping you're not suggesting that public sector workers don't pay taxes. You cannot separate the two populations-because the public sector workers are a part of the taxpayers.
Ah, the canard of the left. (If you're a teacher, look it up!)
See if you can wrap your mind around this...
Jane has three children. Jane is strapped for cash, what with paying rent and buying food.
So Jane looked at what Barack Obama would do and decided that HE had divinely imparted the answer to her. She need to make here children government workers.
So Jane gave each child $500 a week in pay, BUT here is the kicker, Jane is making each child pay 10% of their pay in taxes.
Now Jane can retire in ease and comfort, living off the taxes she collects.
That's the "entitled public servant" economic lesson for the day, children. If you attend public school, you WILL be taught something similar.
do you think the gvt wouldn't collect taxes from these people if they worked in the private sector?
maybe i missed your point?
