government employees such as teachers and stuff are all tax payers, and they are the ones getting paid by the very taxes they are paying to the government. if their taxes exceed their salary, doesn't that mean that they are slowly losing money? OR if their salary exceeds their taxes, that would mean their making slightly more money. OR does the tax payer pay the amount of their salary?
is it one of those things where you pay the government, then they pay you back in addition to the money you're supposed to get?

When I was in the military they paid us with the stuff that was confiscated by the airport screeners. We had to sell it on eBay to make cash to support our families.
Seriously though, we got paid like anyone else. Sure, our salaries came from tax dollars and we did pay taxes on the money but the tax bite never overran our income.
If you work at McDonalds, you get paid by fat people with high cholesterol who are going to die. We are too, just via a separate money stream -- yours goes through the till, and ours comes through their 1040 but it all comes from the same wallet.
Make sense now?

Just wait, it only gets better! When you retire and draw social security, you pay taxes on that as well, only you have to pay it quarterly so that if you die, your all payed up when you do LOL Lovely how that works isn't it?
