The idea that we only pay the salaries of public employees, but that those of private employees are no concern of ours or are not in any way borne by us is quite mind bogglingly illogical to me, quite frankly.
Why is it any concern of yours again as to what some private client of mine and I agree will be my billing rate? Why is it any concern of yours, or the public, whether we agree on $250 an hour, or $500 an hour? And why is it any concern of yours whether I make 200K per year, or 600K, if all paid by private clients?
The same bracket who frequently whine and raise holy hell at any tax increases. In regard to budget gaps and how to fill them, both sides are hypocritical, and both parties merely serve to placate their special interests.
