> Government departments promised each other outrageous compensation and somebody who is coming 30 years and wasn't even present back then is supposed to be skinned to the bone so that grand pa can swing his golf club in Scotland? Okay, so question, why aren't you working as a Government employee due to the outrageous compensation that dwarfs all alternatives?

I don't understand your question. Did I state the compensation for government employees is more than every other job out there? My point is you can't award your self a unreasonable pay package and then expect somebody who didn't even sign up to pay for it, pay for it.

  > Did I state the compensation for government employees is more than every other job out there? Which is an admission that your following sentence is a fiction: > My point is you can't award your self a unreasonable pay package and then expect somebody who didn't even sign up to pay for it, pay for it. Government employees aren't overpaid when the people who can get them can be paid more by the private sector in terms of total compensation. The next problem with your argument is you intend to rob people who agreed to be paid $X for their labor after they kept up their end of the bargain. The third problem is, if you do that, you'll see a steep decline in police & military who heavily rely on pensions as part of the total compensation package. I suggest robbing your police, military, and other emergency/security forces because you think their compensation is unreasonable is unlikely to be a wise choice if you enjoy a stable society. Oh btw, it gets better, since in order to do this you have to void a good chunk of legal precedent about employment and will likely create a ton of other unintended, non-obvious consequences. If you don't like how the government operates, exercise your power to vote rather than attempting to rob people after they upheld their end of the social contract.
