Statistically, a federal worker is now more likely to die than to quit. Federal employees are so overpaid that there are multiple books on the shelves of most bookstores on the topic of how to get a federal job.
Those who work in the federal government have hit the lottery. As the American middle class is drained of its wealth and it becomes harder to start businesses or earn a good living in the private sector, America’s wealth is rapidly moving into the public sector.
Now the National Journal reports that at least 17,000 federal workers made more than $200,000 from the taxpayers last year. America is increasingly a landscape of marble and oak-paneled government palaces surrounded by shanty towns and trailer parks occupied by the private sector.
