The Class War: Public Employees vs. the Rest of Us

Matt Welch ponders the recent news that Federal employees have surpassed their private sector counterparts  in salary and benefits. From the comments: ” …a government manager’s only motivation is to increase the size of his organization.”

This is why I have a problem increasing the size of  government for any reason. They have guns and prisons and are incented to increase their power above all. In addition, ambitious public employees drape themselves in the mantle of selflessness and public service which is rarely the truth. I seldom find ambitious private sector employees with such duplicitous motivations.
