In France, despite overall average wages, the public sector workers have many strong adavantages that the private sector workers don’t have and envy. and it is those private sector workers who pays the price by higher taxes and lower quality of service each year.

A more exact reference to the french revolution, is that the french public sector worker or "fonctionnaires" is a sort of powerful nobility who want to defends its privileges, and the private sector workers who are fed up is the "tiers etat".
