I’m glad they’re paid well, that’s great news, thanks for sharing.
That money comes from the taxpayers. Is it fair that working class taxpayers have to pay taxes that pay for government employees that work for far more than the median compensation of working taxpayers? I say, Mr. Oz, if you want the government employees extremely well paid, why don’t you personally contribute some of your savings and/or income to pay for these very hefty compensation packages? If taxpayers were given the choice as to how much to pay these people, and the money came from their own pockets, I think a lot of taxpayers would say no to paying such high amounts of compensation. LPVC stands for smaller, less expensive government, a government that does less, and thus allows our non-government sector, the community and individuals, to do more. http://www.lpvc.org
