In this time of fiscal disarray and in light of such blatant corruption as the City of Bell scandal it's time to consider the compensation of public sector employees, those payed by tax revenue.
The 98% of the nation should not be in fact creating the top 2% from the proceeds of their labor. There is no reason for public sector employees to be payed more than the 98% of the working public and the Government of the people should truly be on the same level as the very people they are meant to represent, serve, and protect.
