What I don't get is public workers pay part of their own
salaries through their taxes. So how are they parasites? If anything we're getting a real deal, with them paying part of their pay. Right?

3. You're saying that you think they should be exempt from taxation?

4. No, I'm saying we are already getting their services
at a discounted rate.

5. Sorry... that's not a logical argument.
If we increase their salaries tenfold, their taxes will go up even more than that... but we certainly wouldn't be getting their services at a "discounted rate".
