> Employers almost always know the salary and location of their employees. Employers do, individual stockholders of the employing firm do not, generally. > Government workers are (in theory) employees of the citizens. No, they are in theory employees of the government, in which the citizenry are stakeholders. They are not, even in theory, direct employees of the citizens. A US Attorney is not, in theory, your attorney just because you are a US citizen. | ||

> Government workers are (in theory) employees of the citizens. Not in theory nor in practice, for the same reason a teacher isn’t the employee of a student’s parents. | ||
