Re: Re: Per an economist from the University of Missouri
The real clincher is that government employees generally make more than the private sector does.
Include teachers, police, fire fighters, etc. at the state level with the same lopsided personal income and it is easy to see why we are heading in the wrong direction.
When a captain of a fire department can retire at age 50 with a retirement pension of over 6 figures and have a state job lined up before he retires from the fire dept. so he is collecting another income is wrong and only hurts the system. That's the kind of problems we are facing in Calif.
