Just saw from Channel 10 today. Cops in Oceanside make an average of $83K, and $132K with benefits.

The average salary is about the same as the average Engineer who makes $86K. Total compensation for the average Engineer is only at $119K. And Engineers don’t get to retire at 50. Wonder why the US is not competitive in Math & Science?

I agree with most of what you said except the part that voters has the power to re-balancing the inequality through voting. I think the inequality is probably permanent now with the powerful public employee unions buying off our politicians. The only hope is that our government run out ways of borrowing money.

I was excited with the tea party movement in the beginning hoping that it could be a movement of fiscal conservative causes until they brought in Sarah Palin and turned racist.

Another observation is that decades ago, government workers at all levels did indeed make less than their private sector bretheren (and got generous non-monetary compensation as an offset), and in recent decades leap-frogged ahead in pay as well thanks to public sector unions. I predict a re-balancing in future years as voters demand a reset.[/quote]

instead of a dollar, you will probably get 1000 junk mails a day if you post your email address here.

Yes, but there is nothing we can do about it. They have bought our politicians including Obama.

One thing you can do is cheat on Taxes and make sure they don’t catch you. Start buying online.
