[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 357906, member: 1007"] By the way, if working for the government was such a great gig, why doesn't the government create and give jobs and benefits to everyone? I'll tell you why- Because it's unsustainable. Let's say, for example, you work for the government and make $40k/year. Lets assume you pay roughly 20% in taxes, so $8k/year At a 20% tax rate, it would take 5 employees making $40k/year just to pay your salary. If all 5 of those people are government workers, your government goes bankrupt. Put another way, it takes 4 private workers making $40k/year and paying 20% in taxes to cover just the salary of the public worker making $40k/year. That doesn't include pension or benefits. It's simple math, and isn't hard to figure out why the system, in it's current form, can't continue for much longer. [/QUOTE]
