Federal Government works for the Taxpayer, Right?....

.
Some will mention that these Federal and State workers are also "taxpayers" so this does not apply but look at the difference in getting rid of non-productive employees in the Fed\State environment and the private sector...
.
Let us not forget the individuals (Fed workers) over at the Securities and Exchange commission that are making $97,000 to $222,000 a year and got caught watching PORN routinely the other day... Taxpayers same as us?....

"As of 2008, the average federal salary was $119,982, compared with $59,909 for the average private sector employee. In other words, the average federal bureaucrat makes twice as much as the average working taxpayer. Add the value of benefits like health care and pensions, and the gap grows even bigger. The average federal employee's benefits add $40,785 to his annual total compensation, whereas the average working taxpayer's benefits increase his total compensation by only $9,881. In other words, federal workers are paid on average salaries that are twice as generous as those in the private sector, and they receive benefits that are four times greater."
