lowCbass, So, Did you read and understand the article at the link?
The comparison is not between government workers and ‘taxpayers.’ It is a comparison of wages. The article says that when you compare job for job, government workers make LESS. However, government jobs tend to be professional, require a higher level of education, and are not averaged out with extremely low wage service sector jobs.
So, the averages confuse people, who do not read past the headline.
