If you live in the UK and have National Health Care, what are you ranting about? Besides, then you are not our problem.
Why then are you worried about the FBI, CIA, etc. I think you have a vivid imagination
because i'll be moving back home soon. in case you didn't know the irs' tentacles stretch past national boundaries. i do love the way you refer to the nhs like it's the holy grail. be careful what you wish for
you provided beneits to one generation and expect those in another to pay for it! us younger folk are not that stupid. some of us have been contributing for years and we know very well we'll be getting jack squat when our time comes to collect.
I expect what was promised to me, no more, no less.
As I said, I make no apologies for my pension. Contrary to what you may believe, I earned it. Your kids will survive, as will mine.
Perspective. I'm sure the CEO of a multi-national, multi-billion dollar corporation feels he's earned his million dollar salary or pension. You'd agree they earned it and deserve it, right?
These are the benefits that partially make up for the low pay. Many government employees could make a fortune in the business world but are willing to work for less in order to work for a higher calling than corporate greed.
You have to be kidding! Govt employee salaries are equal or greater than their civilian counterparts before benefits. Fact.

Yep, I've heard that too. The average public sector employee earns $73K/year whereas the average private sector employee earns $46K/year. I could be off by +/- a couple thousand, but it's somewhere in that ballpark.

Maybe the federal government does not pay as well ... I dunno as I'm not a federal employee and have not done a pay comparison. I do know that the city government I used to work for, my pay was way above the private sector for senior clericals (almost 50K). I was only in that classification for 2 years before reaching that pay scale. What was required to even enter the clerical class? 18-years of age ... No experience and no high school diploma required.

the AVERAGE employee of the government is higher because of the highness of the job
for example civialian job xyz has 100 employees ranging from 30-100k
government section has 10 empoloyees ranging from 50-80k
the average in the civialian is 45k yet the average in the government is 75k
you arent going to compair an analyst to a hamburger flipper are you???

Ok this data is a few years old, but still significant. I'll keep looking for more...
