Support these assertions.

Middle class people, you are eating your own! Your neighbor is doing well and you want them to get paid less. Blame the bastards you work for for not paying you better! GDP has grown exponentially in the last 30 years, but working class pay has flatlined. WHY? Because rich folks are competing to see who can build the biggest boat. You cheer on the rich when they are on TV, and ***** about the neighbor when she earns too much.

WTF?

Very true.

Finally, a young conservative who knows what he is talking about! Dude, you are the absolute best! Let's cut that governmental hog money, why don't we, all the while SUPPORTING the obscene bonuses given out to executives who are costing the taxpayers billions in bailout money (as you did in another thread)!!!

I have an idea for you! Instead of simply lowering teachers' wages on Long Island and then letting them either quit and be replaced by lower-cost labor or just suck it up, why not fire them and replace them with a totally different workforce that isn't even subject to minimum wage?

I say let's fire the teachers, principals and administrators and close the schools and simply bus the kids to JAIL! Since it doesn't matter WHO teaches them, why not inmates? We can get away with paying cents on the hour to inmates or maybe even less! I watched a show about women in prison last night and one murderess makes a grand total of $1.00 per day doing laundry and her job is coveted in jail because all the others pay $0.40 per day! How cheap could we get teachers in Nassau or Suffolk County Jails? $5.00 a day would be a windfall for the inmates and a major savings for the taxpayer.

PS: When you're done being a bigshot investment banker (if you actually get to be one as you think you will after college graduation), why don't you run for local office? I will certainly vote for you!

This population of teachers is already wasted, as they've grown accustomed to large salaries. The ultimate solution is to stick them on a train to a camp in Ronkonkoma - "Camp Hannity" - where they will staff a call center for United Airlines. When they get ill, we will just gas them, as paying to hospitalize them is much too costly. (Don't get me started on that - free market health care has been awesome for my stock portfolio, and the fewer of these wombed creatures that are treated, the better my dividend).

Then I think all the kids should be home-schooled. Then if the parents can't stay home to school them, then screw them. After all, we are all aware that children are only the problem of the parent. They never end up harming the community or anything like that. That's just sociological hogwash - "Clap-trap" as O'Reilly would put it.

Auction the schools off to private institutions and give a fat rebate back to the hard-working Americans who borrowed those funds from China.

I'm not being facetious, but I seriously read on the National Review about a child who was trained to be a doctor by a rabbit turd. I'm serious. The boy pulled himself up by his bootstraps, learned anatomy, surgical procedures, bio-chem, everything from this turd. And the turd didn't cost any money at all - I suppose it took a little work from the bunny. Anyway, this is a good model for how our schools should operate. Would anyone disagree?

And, we should eat the poor?

Absolutely. Think of all the farm subsidies we'd save.

Great idea and take it a step further so we can MAKE MONEY off the deal! Once we gas them, we can ship the bodies to the newly-created "Ed Gein Memorial Tannery" and create useful objects from their bodies such as furniture, lampshades and decorative wall masks.

Actually this is not as bad of an idea as you might imagine. By ending public education, everybody can save a few tax dollars. Those who care enough and have the money will pay private tutors to educate their children. Those without the money (or desire) will not educate their children. The educated children will get good jobs, the uneducated will work for peanuts. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. Poor slobs. It's a good thing we have a HIGHLY paid police force that will protect the rich and industrious from the inevitably violent, poor proletariat.

Aww shucks, I didn't know you liked me so much. You know what's funny, though. Under this scenario, I would not only have my hands in your 401K, but also in that fat check you cut to Uncle Sam each year. I think I'll take the Job!!!

That's how they do it in places like Brazil and India! Middle class? We don't need no stinkin' middle class! (Okay maybe just a bunch of people who are a slightly higher class peasant we call the "middle class" to look good to the rest of the world, but who still live in slums with no electricity or continuous running water anyway.) As for police force, nah we gotta cut their salaries too, so we hire our own armed guards and we don't shop in town and drive cars because the peasants might kidnap us. But that doesn't matter because we travel in our private helicopters back and forth to our estates and beach houses and take our helicopters to the airport so we can shop in Paris instead.
