All government employees should get a wage cut in relation to the cost of living in their area.

I've heard plenty of highly overpaid senators and other government officials who are living HIGH off social security once they have retired. What more do they do than the average businessman really? Paperwork, dealing with criticism, negotiating, and meetings. I know of sanitation workers that work harder and longer days beyond their retirement age and can barely live off what social security gives them when they try to retire. Where's the fairness in this?

EDIT: 'Wage cut' not 'tax cut' - I dunno how I managed that one.
