Many people work their whole lives, giving years of service, and do not get to then sit back on the tax payers dime. One that tax payers never voted for or approved.
So, if the tax payer pays the salary, you're not allowed to have a retirement plan? And don't tax payers vote for those who agree to the terms of employment? Again, I think you have the situation poorly diagnosed. You're forgetting half of the equation. Government employees, state or federal, are first and foremost employees. As such. they get salaries and retirement packages.
