In some ways, it is. No problem with paying for fire, police, EMS, hospitals, roadways, lights, etc. However, having to pay these over inflated salaries of public employees is crazy. These teachers in Stamford, CT are making near six figures after 5 years. I dated a music teacher once in neighboring Westchester, NY; she made 93k as a freaking music teacher. Give me a break. Everyone deserves a fair wage, but some of these gov't employees' wages are out of control.
