We've discussed the public sector union people. We are messing with their bread and butter. They have their hands in the treasuries of all states in which they operate and the US Treasury. They have their hands there. That's how they live. Now, we're broke and the states are broke for a multitude of reasons. What they're being paid is among them.
I don't like bonuses for public services employees who do great jobs, like prosecutors or judges.
It is only fair to expect public employees like me and others in the public sector to pay something close to what our neighbors and our fellow citizens do in the private sector.
Data indicate that taxpayers may be paying their public servants more than a little too much.
County government can be simplified greatly by reorganizing and consolidating some of the offices, making others appointive, and reducing salaries in keeping with the salaries paid by private business for the performance of similar duties.
I think public sector workers, our teachers, our firefighters, our home health workers who work for states, they do God's work. They are some of our most important employees.
Government employees make a good amount of money - income levels are very high in Washington, D.C. compared to other markets, so they are living in a bubble.
People who are government servants, public servants, should not be paid more than the taxpayers who are paying for it.
