Government Employees Make Too Much Money?

Only a Republican would think that a low-level government employee makes too much money. And only a Republican would focus on that fact instead of the 500 to 1 ratio of CEO to employee pay. Mike Papantonio takes on the Bulls and Bears who are attacking government workers for allegedly making too much money. Watch as they attack unions, teachers, firefighters, and police officers.

Private workers get paid slave wages because all the money goes to the CEOs and upper management . What wrong with paying people a living wage?

...I hate Fox News

Pure BS I worked for the fed and my job counterparts did a hell of a lot more.

What do you expect from the Rupert Murdoch propagandist industry? Just heard that another News of the World editor turned himself in. Man, I really hope one day the US corporate-owned media (oligarchy) really falls apart and you people down there get real data and facts instead of more brain-washing junk like this. In the meantime, there is the internet to do your own research and think for yourself!

I wonder how much she earns? Probably more than a very senior Civil Servant could ever hope to earn! Boo to them, they hate Bureaucrats because Civil Servants work for the people, not for profit.

These are divisive issues to pit us against each other and not unify to fight the real enemy. tax the shit out of the rich fuck em. Wealthy bankers only got their money from being good at stealing it from the poor. 40$ an hour is just a living wage private workers should g more to we ve been fooled the middle class is non existent fight for unity fight for rights fight to shut fox news up!

@Prophetess7 If a government employee did as much as a CEO does, and did it well and with a smile on their face, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Honestly, how can you compare an average employee's salary, government or non-government, with a CEO. You should get paid in proportion to the importance of your job. And why does a government employee get paid more money for doing the same job as a private sector employee, except with (usually worse) performance? Does not make sense!!!

@stickitupyourasteric That's life... Do you really think that the Dems or Rep really care about you? What party gave fed employees and themselves COLA and raises but didn't give people on SS, DAV any COLA... Who signed NAFTA into law? If you don't like K-MART wages go to college and get a degree... you might have to move but it's a way of life now. BTW... Obumas last teacher union bailout, where did the money come from?

[stickitupyourasteric]
