You being a taxpayer doesn't distinguish you from them. They pay them too.

As a private sector person, I earn everything my family needs plus enough to help fund the government, there's isn't a single government employee that pays for everything his family needs plus the needs of others. That's why they used to public servants. Not to mention how insulting it is that same public employees are union members as well. The taxpayers pay the salaries and union dues. To protect the government employee from the government.

Are you saying public employees don't pay taxes? Please explain yourself better.

Government employees can't pay taxes. If I give you $100 and you give me back $10 have you paid me $10? Paying taxes with tax dollars is nothing more than bookkeeping. This reality infuriates many government employees but it doesn't change the reality. If all your income is from government employment paid with tax dollars, you don't pay taxes. You're a net tax consumer, period. Those who are privately employed are net tax providers.

I'm saying that government employees pay taxes, on the money given to them from the private sector

That money isn't given to the public sector employee. They, at least most, work for it. Get real.

I'm real, it seems that I've had a few run ins with you before. I'm sure you're a great guy, but I have my own opinions. I'm not worried though, I'll win you over.
