>Public servants

All public servants or just those paid by your statea and/or federal governments? Could you find out how much someone made at the NSA, for example?

>Sweden.

Tax returns are not the same as pay transparency. In premise, yes, in practice, no, because a tax return is based on taxable income only. So, let's say I have tax credits for having three kids. My taxable income would be vastly different from yours, if you have no kids.

....who do you think pays NSA employees? https://work.chron.com/nsa-pay-scale-16399.html

>Sweden.

You are conflating tax returns and taxable income. A tax return shows the salary AND the tax credits. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-panama-tax-nordics-idUSKC...
