Civility On Certain Terms

Hey, a piece at Huffington worth reading and digesting.

It's very duh but goodie nonetheless pondering the hypocrisy of "nice rhetoric."

My buddy once worked as a teacher's assistance at a big university here in Montreal. He was called "le riche" (the rich) because he rarely, if ever, voted to go on strike for anything. He felt a lot of their complaints were churlish and childish so he couldn't vote in good conscience in their favor. They spent more time, according to him, bitching than preparing for their classes.

Question:

Should a salary of a public servant ever exceed that of one in the private sector? I ask because public sector salaries are paid directly from taxes.
