Here’s the problem; too many government employee’s with too many government pensions. Cut the size and scope of government, including wages, and this is a non-issue. The taxpayer is subsidizing these pensions, hence it is only moral to keep the cost and man power low.-I propose low wages for government servants because being one should not entail “goodies” or salaries that would cause one to seek a lifetime of government employment. It is unethical to the taxpayer who pays the bills, literally.
