??? Again, who has ever argued that public employees are more enlightened than anyone else? All I have argued is that, absent some compelling justification, they are entitled to the same rights as everyone else. I'm not sure how you turned that into a strawman about "more enlightened" and "their demands be[ing] ... greater than" anyone else's"?
I honestly don't understand what you are arguing. When you are negotiating an employment contract with your employer, and are seeking a wage raise, is that a case of you believing that you are "more enlightened" than your employer? Is that a case of you believing that your demands are greater than those of your employer (sorry, that which you have "chosen to serve")? Of course not. It is bargaining. It happens millions of times every single day all over the world.
