I'm proud that my tax dollars go towards paying public sector employees more than the private sector. The public sector should set an example for the private sector in terms of wages, benefits, and treatment of employees.

And why might that be? Is it because the government holds a regional monopoly on that service?
And yes, it would be wonderful if everyone was paid like in the Public sector.
But reality is reality, and companies need to make a profit. Many operate on tiny margins, and would outsource or mechanize if they had to pay more wages.
