I doubt that you approve of the fact that government employees, considering pensions and benis, are getting so much higher compensation than people working in private businesses.

Some do, most don't. Some government jobs are very, very important to a lot of more "clients" than similar private sector jobs... so paying a competitive package is important.

I doubt that you approve of politicians spending literally trillions more than what they take in in taxes.

On that we agree.

you need to recognize just how power greedy, mischievous and dangerous government can be, even when it acts with so called good intentions

I know bunches of people in government. They are no different than the people I know in the private sector... except usually a little more civic minded. They are not "power greedy, mischievous and dangerous", however they are normally ambitious, just like private sector folks.

Just regular people, some good some not so good. Just like the folks around me here at work.
