Again I will point out public sector employees are endowed with great wealth due to the pension and lifetime health benefits they receive.

The income inequality crowd conveniently forgets to calculate the massive wealth transfer to the public sector that is going on in this country. It is paid for by the private sector who does not have the same benefits and protections.

Dude, give it a break. We just saw a trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthy. I'm perfectly happy with my compensation, but the problem, the real problem, is way over my head.

The real "problem" with the public sector is that EVERYONE should get what the public sector gets. Everyone should get more affordable healthcare. Everyone should get a guaranteed pension. But instead, corporations jack up healthcare costs while passing the savings to shareholders, and cut pensions in favor of 401k accounts so executives can get million dollar bonuses.
