Yes, it must be true.
Public sector workers are raking in an unbelievable 14% more on average than their counterparts in the private sector.
In fact, it's even worse than the right-wing egg-heads at the Fraser Institute imagine. Mall cops work for minimum wage. Real cops average six numbers.
That's not a 14% difference. It's about a 500% difference.
But that's not something the Fraser Institute posse will focus on, because they're not after $120,000/yr folks in the RCMP.
They're after clerical workers and mid-level managers and bus-drivers and trash collectors. These are the folks who make 14% more in the public service than in the private sector.
And that's what's driving us down the road to ruin.
Overpaid garbage collectors.
Can you imagine garbage collectors making twenty dollars an hour? And having PENSIONS to boot? Well, maybe you can't, but the Fraser Institute certainly can. In fact, they can find plenty of garbage collectors making 30 or 40 dollars an hour.
And the Fraser Institute is well aware that there are lots of starving unemployed folks willing to take a crack at that job for minimum wage.
Which proves to the good folks at the Fraser Institute that minimum wages are way too high.
"A free and prosperous world through choice, markets, and responsibility" is their motto.
Your free choice to work for nothing will be a vote of confidence in the markets your friends at the Fraser Institute champion...
