You are delusional. Even in a right to work state like Florida, the
state and local government employees make a salary commensurate or
better than private sector workers and in a lot of cases much better
PLUS a fat benefit package that your private sector guy does not get.

The retired cop across the street from me makes about $70,000 ... TAX
FREE and gets insurance.

My cousin is a retired sheriff deputy. About $120k a year pension. They
spike there last year by collecting unused vacation and sick pay.
