Exactly ... I agree. It is not that one is not paying enough, it is the other is paying too much.

The problem is spending ... give them less to spend and make them start making cuts.   That is what you and I would have to do to balance our budgets. We can say, well we are spending to much so raise my pay to cover it.

I don't get the thinking that the only answer is we need to raise taxes. Address spending, then lets see.

many years ago I was at a very large corporation that wanted to cut admin overhead costs by 25% .... so every department in the company had to submit a 40% cut in 5% increments ... for each 5% cut they had to say what would not get done and what risk they saw.

When it was all said in done ... some departments were cut by 40%, others by just 5 or 10 % .... but the wound up getting their 25% reduction and no one really felt it.   Over time fat builds up and I have to believe government is that way as well.
