the question remains, "How does it help me if mailmen, teachers, fire fighters are paid less?" I like it when people get paid a lot of money. Doesn't matter to me if they are a government worker or a hedge fund manager. What I don't like is paying taxes. Once you get that money from me, do whatever you like with it, make everybody rich, just don't come back asking for more.
You have two choices in this world when it comes to making a living. You can choose a job and accept the pay of that job, or you can choose a specific amount of money and then do the job that pays that much. Obviously the more money you want, the more skills you will have to learn, but it really is that simple.
--- Obviously the more money you want, the more skills you will have to learn, ----- you right,but for some reason i feel that i'm living in upside-down world ..
Why does the post office even bother posting a P/L. Why the charade that it is a "business"? Its not. Its just part of the gubment and funded by taxpayers no different than the dept of education or the military or whatever the frig else. Its a US budget item.

i agree,that's how the market works.but gvt and their employees disagree.they are not willing to accept the reality.. i said it before-gvt job looks like one way ticket,where wages only go up,no matter what. think about it..programmer\private sector employee-year 2000-50K teacher-50K. 2010-programer-45-48K,teacher-70-75K. year 2020(assuming inflation is same)-programer-50K,teacher-100K after retirement picture would be even worse. is this sustainable model? i'm not asking you,i'm asking folks in DC and dems,who vote for obama.it's a greece x1000
