Me: There needs to be a law pass reducing all federal employee pay by 40%.
Based on what? Be specific.

You: Based on what? Be specific.

Me: Based on the fact that that federal employees are paid way more than identical jobs in the private sector. How can you be a “public servant” when you make more than all the peon peers?

I take it you work for the feds

A worker is worth his hire. And his edumacation.

Your broad brush betrays your not understanding the situation.

Re: Fed workers being paid 40% more than comparable jobs in the private sector. That is true with lower tier jobs, but falls off the higher they advance in the pay scale. In the highly technical jobs, workers earn 2 - 3x what a Fed gets paid.

Fun fact: not every job has a private sector counterpart.

Fun fact #2: Explain to me how you get to decide how much someone gets paid. From each according to their ability to each according to their need? Out of your little red book?

Do tell.
