That's a great idea, take failed ideologies and force them down the throat of the most successful country in history. It's not like our quality of life and technological advances haven't increased leaps and bounds.
At least your post doesn't have the sexual reference used to disparage tea party members.
Enough red herring. Where's your argument?
Why should we expect inflation to have any bearing on teacher pay?
Oh, I made an error - must have been my calculator, the right answer is $92,022 - not that far from the magical $100,000. But wait!!, if you take into account 184 days worked, down from the normal 250 worked in the private sector, then John Doe is making well north of $100,000.
Are you serious? Make them up? Yeah, I got the data from the union database. It's time to open your eyes man - health insurance for a family costs $18,000 grand a year if you didn't have the state picking up the tab for you. No joke. Social Security and Medicare tax - all public information, www.ssa.gov. State database on your golden Tax Deferred Annuity paying a guaranteed rate of 8% - junk bonds don't even pay 8%!!
Simple 'rthmetic - something they fail to teach today, ask a kid in the street, if you have $3 and you can buy something for $0.79 each, how many cans could you buy - they'd need a caculator because our "fantastic" teachers didn't teach them to think with logic - it's all about formulas and calculators. The only ones who know the math are the teachers at home, counting up their "golden" benefits like Silas Marnas - that you read in advanced high school classes or college.
okay was just wondering.. lots of numbers thrown around. A lot of people around here like to take numbers out of thin air
you needed a calculator to do that math? yet you bash teachers for not requiring kids to do math in their head?

The problem with the "tea baggers" is they did not present the data in a clear, consise and simple manner for people to understand at the public forums including the school board meetings - all they did was scream. Now come on, who wants to listen to a bunch of screaming.
How's the "greatest technology in the world!" helping these families?
I haven't seen anywhere around here people saying cut programs and jobs. What I see is people saying the salaries/benefits need to be reigned in to better reflect the market. Stop deliberately distorting the facts to meet your ideologic agenda, it's sad.
Show me where I distorted one fact. All you can point to is an exchange we had in which you got completely confused and couldn't comprehend the context of the posts.

Yeah, that's all I'm doing. I'm trying to be respectful in this and have a normal discussion but you just constantly try to berate me.
you make me want to cry
