I'm a retired State gov't employee and even I can see the flaw in your logic. The problem is their paychecks come from our taxes. Even though they pay the "same" taxes as everyone else, and in some cases a lot more taxes, it's still starts as tax money that wouldn't be required if the gov't payroll wasn't so large. I watched my gov organization climb from about 6K employees to over double that in 22 years. Meanwhile real income and tax revenue fell. That's not a sustainable paradigm.
All I can tell you other folks is to do what I'm doing- run for local office. Start at the grass roots. I used to complain mightily about the Town board and my taxes, until I started attending board meetings and seeing it wasn't the Town board setting the taxes, it was the County and School district and State and Feds.

Same with gun control, property rights, school curriculum, etc. It's a lot easier to sit back and complain in front of the TV or at the bar or feed store than it is to try fixing it, but if good, common sense people don't act.....kerplooie!

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
