Every study shows that government is inept and inefficient at delivering services. Government funds itself by the threat of force–don’t pay your taxes or fees and your property will be taken away, you might be jailed. So there is no incentive to perform well or you will lose your job or your business, like there is in the private industry world. What is even worse is that government employees have become the new elite–they are compensated far better than those in the private sector, they get better pension benefits, they get better health care benefits. And they basically can’t be fired. This is a disgraceful insult to the workers in the private sector who actually fund government. And it is contributing hugely to government budget deficits and stress. It must stop. We need a law that says no government worker can get paid more in any form of compensation than the average for similar occupations in the private sector.
