This is where the low effort crowd always runs off the rails, 
"Take a look at retired residents' levels of pension income; haw many with good pensions come from the private sector"
In fact the cohort now retiring are receiving good pensions from many sectors and not just government employees.  Auto workers never had to contribute to their pensions and are getting nice pensions; tradesmen never had to contribute and are now receiving nice pensions; bank employees at one time were paid well and had nice pensions etc. etc.....so it is that generation and not gov't workers alone, so your comment is unfounded and highly innacurate..   

But sure your rush to the bottom mentality should be good for society...hey the rich class would love you for it as it would divert more money their way.....
