Federal Government Is Big Source of Income Inequality


Chris Edwards at the Cato institute points out that the average Federal government worker's compensation is almost 80% higher than the average worker in the private sector. In fact just last year the VA Administration handed out over $140MM in bonuses (and they say that incompetence doesn't pay!).  The next time you hear Bernie Sanders or Hillary complain about income inequality, can we have a discussion of the Federal government's rule in that?
