Stephen Moore(@StephenMoore):Why do government employees receive 40% more in total compensation than private-sector workers? Government employees cost 42% more, with wages 24% higher and benefits 83% more generous. Taxpayers should not be forced to fund a government compensation system far richer than their own.
