The average salary at the white house is $81,765 a year. Do you know what the average salary is in the real world? In the neighborhood of $43,000. That data is from a couple of years ago, with all the people out of work these days, I wouldn't be surprised if that number was actually lower now.
The article goes on to talk about how these high earners gave up even bigger salaries in the real world to work for obama. Ok? And because of that they are entitled to a taxpayer funded salary of 4 times what an average American makes? If they want to make huge money they should stay in the private sector.
Choosing public service as an occupation should be done by people with a heart to serve, not someone looking to further an agenda or get wealthy at the tax payers expense...

One out of every three White House employees makes at least $100,000 a year, according to data released by the White House on Friday.
Top earners pull down a salary of $172,200 a year, while three employees have a salary of $0. Most staffers fall somewhere in the middle.
The average salary is $81,765 a year, while the median employee salary is $70,000. The lowest full time salary is $41,000 a year.
The list is a little top heavy, with 21 sharing the title of top earner. But the names at the top are among the most recognizable the White House has to offer.
White House Press Secretary jay carney makes $172,200, as does counterterrorism adviser John Brennan, speechwriter Jon Favreau, adviser David Plouffe and Chief of Staff Bill Daley.
While that's well above the national average, White House staffers often command far more lucrative salaries in the private sector -- and some gave them up to work for obama.
