Leon's problem is that his solution is based on an assumption that is wrong. He believes that every elected official and government employee is pulling down an overly generous benefits package that will save the state $8,000 per employee if it was capped at private sector levels. But the simple fact is that most government officials and employees don't enjoy those levels of benefits. Leon's claim that he can achieve the equivalent of $8,000 in savings per 411,000 elected officials and employees is simply untrue. He can't achieve those kinds of savings and his claim that it would allow the Business Tax to be eliminated and the Income Tax to be reduced is equally unfounded.
