Government employees are more educated on average. Please show some evidence that an individual with the same level of qualifications will earn more in the government.

Also, I doubt this was any different before Obama was elected.

[Mr Andrews]

Gov guys shouldn't get any money, what else is corruption and bribery for?

[Futfwrca]

Dayum son, you is dumb.

Oh and most pensions I have seen cap out at some point like at 70% of your "best 5 years" or something. I have teacher friends that said that after they had enough service, they wouldn't increase their pension at all except to the extent that it lifted their "best 5 years" calculation

[puzobok]

All I said is that they are working for the Man. Right now the Man is the Bamster.

Just because you have comprehension issues and see things that aren't there, doesn't make this my fault.

Anyways, you have anything to say about the topic?

You wouldn't have posted "Why it pays to work for Bush" 3 years ago, given the same data.

You're not smart enough to pull off any kind of bullshit like this, Ben.

[Overlord]

That's part of the tradeoff with government work - you get security in exchange for getting paid less on average, which means in bad times you make more because of that security but in good times you get blown away by the private sector. None of those articles took into the factor of all the benefits as this one does. Working for the government you get security and better pay. There's no drawback.

This article is doing really well at smoking out all the big-government folks. Who's next? Oerdin? Che?

[Narcodran]

Which is why I criticised him for his spending? Nice try.

Good job showing yourself to be a big-government dim supporter. Your skirt's showing.

Where have I supported anything here, you disingenuous scum?

I preemptively accept your apology for once again misrepresenting my position. My position is that you are a ****ing moron of epic proportions, a life-long virgin, a social cripple, and an abject failure as a human being. I do think public servants tend to be paid far too much. I don't attribute this to Obama because, unlike you, I'm not functionally retarded.

As ben continues to find new lows, just when we thought that was impossible.

[ptmQqoxw]

You like him too? I didn't know he had an american fan club. You learn something new every day.

[wJswn5l3]

Jesus Christ, are you ever pathetic...

That's an insult to pathetic people.

[trorseIrripsy]

I haven't seen you being critical of the outrageous military expenditures in the US, nor have you been critical of the government's role in regulating the private lives of citizens. Seems to me like you're the big government guy, of the two of us. And here's your chance to say that pensions are too high.

Go right ahead, Asher.

[constanyiskancho]

And here's your chance to say that pensions are too high.

Go right ahead, Asher.

Of course the pensions are too high.

I accept your apology for, again, misrepresenting my positions.

[Beriilosal]

How is this an attack on Obama? It's an attack on civil service pensions.

And yes it pays very well to work for Obama.

[Ibrattnofich]

Because that's the title of this thread.

If you want a Bamster lovefest, start yer own thread.

[lidya-sggf]

[jhfsdhf]

God ben, you're such a bigot. Why don't you just come out an call Obama a nigger?
You use that carter/obama avatar at another site proudly.

[Enfonebew]

Yes, I believe so, but using an avatar that makes him look black is pretty damn racists.

[Twelearly]

Sure if it means we get back on track to the thread topic.

What is the thread topic?

If the thread topic is not in the title of this thread, I suggest you get the mods to change it.

Right now the thread topic pertains to Obama, and you're claiming this is not the case.

[arrendabomnem]

Racist bastard

[Mr Andrews]

So it's Bush's fault, Gribbler?

What is this, his third term?

You ignored the important part of my post... I want evidence that an individual with the same qualifications will earn more in the government. That would make for a much better argument that government employees are overpaid.

It doesn't make sense to compare the average salaries of the public and private sectors because you there are many differences between the public and private sectors, such as government employees being more educated on average.
