[quote]BTW, those salaries/benefits are recycled back into the economy as these employees spend their money. It is far better than “investments” by rich people that have a debt offset (require repayment PLUS interest/dividends).[/quote]
You are comparing apples and oranges. The money that the public sector is paid is from taxes. It is not organically grown from productive enterprises. Your argument amounts to a thief taking money from a cash register and then spending it in that very business as some sort of repayment.
