“Gov workers are NOT taxpayers.”
Not sure what that’s supposed to mean, I’m a federal employee and I pay my taxes every year.
You are paid with tax money.
So the fact that you pay taxes (as my wife does as a teacher), is a bit odd. Your salary, and my bride’s, comes from taxes.
There was a congressmen years ago that suggested that federal salaries be adjusted to what the actual take home amount was, and then don’t charge them federal income tax. Since the money spent to process the returns made it a net loss.
I think he meant that Federal workers are paid with private taxpayer dollars. Therefore, the "taxes" paid by federal employees are nothing more than returning some of the private taxpayer dollars to the government.

No offense, perhaps I should have said ‘net taxpayer’. Since you derive a salary from the gov, you’re not a net taxpayer...unless you pay in taxes more than you earn!
I read your other posts stating you were with Dod. I don’t think people like me have a problem with that, Defense along with the POST OFFICE is a Constitutionally mandated job of the fedgov.
Perhaps if Energy, Education, HHS were scrapped there’d be more money and less deficits for the fedgov’s proper tasks.
