Why are the salaries of a quarter-million federal employees – paid with your tax dollars – a state secret?

There are many government employees who are capable. There are many government employees who do their jobs. But there are also many government employees who see the taxpayer as a sugar daddy who exists to finance their city and their lifestyle. (Even if that lifestyle does mean endless daycare and traffic.) This is a fact. There is a deep sense of entitlement. Like you the taxpayer are supposed to be pleased to fork over your hard earned pay to them. And now they’re trying to keep you from knowing how much you are paying them.
