Buying political cronies with your tax dollars------A federal agency's laundromat worker belongs to the 1 percent

A federal agency's laundromat worker belongs to the 1 percent - Watchdog.org:
"...Yes, the federal government has some of those, too.
Laundry operations services worker Joseph Bryant topped the list for 2010 through 2013 (the data’s available from 2010 to 2014), pulling in $115,443 from the Veterans Health Administration in Los Angeles in 2013. 
But Bryant isn’t alone as a federal employee laundering his way into the upper middle class.  
Across a variety of agencies and locations, and multiple job titles, cleaning fabrics can produce above-average income across the country.
“Laboring” is another occupation with oddly high pay.
Tommie Lampley, of the Veterans Health Administration, beat the six-figure line for the latest three years of data. 
Even among the rest, who don’t cross that milestone, laborers do well in navy installations, at the National Gallery of Art, in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and in other agencies.
...Who would have thought that one could make up to $85,000 per year “buffing and polishing” at the U.S. Mint? 
“Tree trimming and removing” at the Presidio site in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco has brought Jason Thurm over the $90,000 mark, and his arborist peers across the country aren’t far behind.
“Custodial working” can bring employees over $80,000 per year. 
Out at sea, “insulating” (actual insulating, not protecting politicians from consequences) breaks $100,000....
If you’re one of the disorganized masses of Americans struggling every day just to earn enough to make ends meet, how could you hope to reign in these legions of highly motivated, well-paid employees greasing the skids of the national political machine?.."
