I suggest you ask yourself why those in government are paid disproportionately to those they serve, and also why they are entitled to better healthcare as well, with most have this provided free, or at reduced cost unlike most of us. At one time government service was known for average pay and superior benefits, now most want it all, while some offer little to no job performance, while we are expected to take second or third jobs to pay for these inflated perks. Why?
