Yes, but in many private companies you are paying the bill as well. Anyone that does work for the government you are paying for, whether it be food service for government employees, insurance for government employees, etc. Also, any time you buy just about anything from a corporation you are facilitating this with your money as a portion of what you are paying for is going to pay those executives.

Its just that pensions are more direct and easy to see.

I usually have a choice if I want to buy something from a private company. I rarely need to give them my money, and if I do, I may have a choice, and even if I don't have a choice, it doesn't really affect me how they use my profits. You have no option in this manner when it comes to government workers, except perhaps moving out of state.
