For me it's the us vs them mentality against the public service. Most rank and file Teachers/nurses/beaurocrats don't do the job to make money but to help the public good, and I just can't get behind the attacks on them for getting paid to do a job that benefits society as a whole.

The AER is industry funded so I don't think it is quite fair to lump them in. YOU are right though some executives costs are up there. could be worse though, some of the execs in Ontario make 2 or 3 times more.
