Who should be paid more: a soldier or a teacher?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I have no idea and I guess it depends on a lot of things, but I think most people should have roughly the same standard of living regardless of their job (or lack thereof) so that's not a very interesting issue to me.

yeah....THAT is the automated message in this thread

Not "automated" maybe, but Computer89's SHOCK at such a sentiment coming from self-identified socialists is definitely knee-jerk and intellectually incurious.

I'm not sure which is paid more, but one complains a lot more about not being paid enough than the other one does.

If you have never heard anyone kvetching about getting by on an E4's salary, then you have never had a conversation within thirty miles of an Army reservation.

Actually, I have on multiple occasions, including being on a military base for my father's promotion to Major and the command thereof.

Well, a major wouldn't have reason to complain about pay, no.

That was not my point.

I know it wasn't.
