>> The ones I know, at least the ones keeping their jobs, are not making more. "Federal employees making more than $100,000 increased from 14 percent to 19 percent of total government employment. In fact, the number of federal employees making more than $100,000 has more than doubled in less than two years. There are now more federal employees making more than $100,000 per year than $40,000 per year. " According to USA Today, federal employees make "almost double what private-sector employees make when benefits such as health care and retirement are included ($119,982 vs $59,909)". Do you honestly think that 19 percent of government employees ought to be making over $100K? Plus some of the best benefits in existence, anywhere? Is that okay with you? Do you think these filthy rich government bureaucrats ought to earn this much money? While the rest of us have to work for a living?
