So now we see another increase in the pay gap between the upper class (government employees) vs. the lower class (private employees).

2011: Fed - $74,396 +$40,000 ben vs Private -$59,804 + $28,000 ben
2014 Fed - MORE vs. Private - Same (or less) + Obamacare

    Just found a great quote from Voltaire covering the same topic from 250+/- yrs ago.

    “The art of government is to make two-thirds of the nation pay all it possibly can pay for the benefit of the other third,” mused Voltaire.

    Yep, give gov tax dollar sucking leeches a raise and cut military retirees pay. I hope this "person" soon learns to understand what every banana republic tyrant learned the hard way - it's not wise to take money from people who are trained with guns and to give it to people who are not.

    It's just like stealing meat from the food dish of the big bad neighborhood dog - you can get bit.
