I think a cap on private sector workers income would save more money, there are many more of them and many of them have unimportant jobs. If the government just capped their incomes at 100K a month we could pay off all national debt in months.

The government would be quickly replaced with one who would undo this change. Nobody would support it. This is so ridiculous I think you're trolling.

That may be true, but if the .1% of households making more than $1m/year can obviously and unquestionably overthrow the government, we may as well dispense with any pretense of democracy.

private sector is not paid from public tax dollars.

Provide an argument about why government workers are worth less then private workers? Defense is taxpayer funded should we cap pensions at Boeing? They make much more then government workers too, why aren't you suggesting that? I think it's just simple realism, not ideologically driven.
