You bought the right wing bullshit hook, line. and sinker, didn't you. Hell, you might have swallowed the cork!Wow. Except for your argument about lawyers, you basically didn't disprove the 'bullshit'...even with links! C'mon counselor! My guess is the avg doctor, lawyer, dentist and CEO type level executive makes less in govt than private practice. I'm sure they make up the majority of govt employees.

Here's an article similar to the one I read about a month ago where the avg WI teacher compensation (can't find the exact article) was $102K. It was about $58k in salary but $44K in benefits. The benefit number included health and pension benies. I believe the cost of benefits is what is being argued essentially.
