Zombie Attacks on Public Employees
We’ve been through this before, but given that attacks on public sector workers keep staggering up and damaging our economy, zombie-like, it bears repeating: public employees are actually slightly underpaid by comparison with private sector workers.

I don’t think Americans have a good grasp of these things. Consider that we, collectively, decided that families getting by on under $450 AFDC per month were living in lazy luxury, yet we understand that those getting by on nearly $300 per week UI are struggling. This is because we are told (by news media) what to think, and we accept it without thought. We don’t want to be troubled with numbers. If the media implies that public employees are getting paid like executives, it must be true. If media further implies that they are undeserving of such high pay, we’ll accept that.
