Yes real estate is subsidized? Yes I make more omn each transaction because of that? I also make less as a realtor than I did in anything else I have done in the last 20 years and do this for the lifestyle it affords me not the income. Most realtors make minimum wage or less for the time they put in. Not complaint just stating a fact. Not whining either as I love my life and giving up making more money for having more control over my time is a choice I have happily made.
OK back to where we were. Public servants do a very noble thing. They serve us and for that I am grateful. Am I grateful enough that they should earn in the top 1 to 2 percent of wage earners in this country while having full health benefits and a mid 6 figure pension to look forward to in their 50’s? Probably not. I like them, I respect them, I don’t want their jobs or lifestyles. Does that mean I can’t consider them over compensated? That I don’t understand.
