If you work for the government in any capacity from Prime Minister to street sweeper - you are not employed.
You are not working.
It's not a job.
Government "employees" pay taxes on income, right? But they are paid in tax revenue. So they are "net tax negative". They are paid by easily printable currency that can be printed as needed. This devalues all currency in circulation.
They are on the same payroll as benefits claimants.
They are new-age communists.
