ParticipantSo I provided data and you came back with another strawman never acknowledging my “facts” looked accurate that firefighters make about 50% more than cops.
The problem with the earnings at the top argument is twofold. Those earning are the result of owning a large asset and these dollars are based upon corporate earnings not salaries. I dont begrudge successful business owners from earning whatever their business generates. Many of those folks on that list (names like Gates, Buffet, Walton and locally Jacobs) provide the philanthropic backbone of our country.
Second the article compares 2008 (where corporate earnings got clobbered) to 2009 (where they started to recover). What would those numbers look like behind 2008? I’m guessing they havent recovered to pre-recession numbers.
With all that said, still waiting for a response on why firefighters make so much more than cops?

ParticipantPublic sector is paid by taxes. Taxes are paid from profit. When the public sector is compensated more than the private/profit sector, there’s an imbalance that must be corrected. Or your currency will start to lose value.
