There are different ways to think about things….here’s one –
We can guess that federal government workers are paid more than private sector workers. But can you guess by how much?
67% more. Are you competing with the federal government for the best workers, with money they confiscated from you in the form of taxes?
Is that a fair fight?
Thats just in the us. And does not include the condos and flats we own as well. The special forces budget for artillery is over 1.2 million dollars per month per unit.
I’m not sure I want employees who would be content with government jobs. Government jobs breed laziness as there is little to no incentive to take risks to get ahead. By government jobs, I mean civil service work; not military. Yet, the military is not immune to egomaniacs and other sociopaths.
