Whats the matter, cant dispute that janitors should be paid different than the basketball player, even though they are paid by the same individuals? No wonder you cant comprehend that a teachers salary and a CEO one would be worlds apart..
You do not have the essence of the OP's video at all. You would rather spout off topic than to watch the video so that you can make intelligent contributions to this thread.

Teachers who have a master’s degree but no
teaching experience will start at $51,425.
Thats for teachers without a teachers license.. Scroll down below you will see the salary for those who are licensed or have a BA..
Section 8A, STARTING - year 4 earn $70,495 for work experience or a LICENSE, and the last collumn is those with a bachelor, which is $75,796,

Absolutely.. I have no problem with public teachers being paid well either. I'm not saying they are overpaid

My problem is the stupidity in comparing them to a CEO.. Thats ridiculous..

Again, its like comparing a janitor to a basketball star..

Hey man, stop posting about yourself and start posting where you got that 75k/second year teacher stuff. Narcissistic much?

Couldnt tell you.. lives in a different state, and I really dont care enough about it.. Why are you trying to change the subject ? Because you admit its stupidity to compare the two?

p.s. here is one such school district paying those wages, starting wage for some, $74,796.. + extras..
Why Teach At CPS? - Teacher Salary
$59,335 - $64,808 (M.A. +45) (Lane 5, Step 1 – Lane 5, Step 3)
$61,087 - $66,560 (Ph.D./Ed.D.) (Lane 6, Step 1 – Lane 6, Step 3)

And here is another one
Powered by Google Docs
Add in the extras like coaching, which is a bonus, testing pay, and regional bonuses, you can EASILY hit $75K
A second year teacher with an MA makes $52,942. Coaches are supplemented at $22.50/hr, with a max of 240 hrs/yr. As a matter of fact, $22.50 seems to be the standard rate for supplements, most of which are limited to far fewer than 240 hrs.

The difference between your asserted salary of $75k and the base salary of $52,942, is $22,058, which mean your friend is putting in 980 extra hours per 193 day school year, which means she is working an extra 5 hours a day - at a minimum. Anyone who has been a teacher knows that a teacher puts in far more than the contractual 7 hr 20 min day.This lady is working pretty much all her waking hours.

When does she have time to go out to dinner with you??

A Corporate executive on Wall Street earning $250K though isnt living high on the hog. Its NYC.. Do you not have a clue about cost of livings and again, does someone need to explain to you the parts that the government shouldnt dictate private business pay?

yet another worthless posting with no substance and showing the inability to compare a corporate executive, which is a private employee to a public one.. Thanks for sharing, but your postings are becoming troll like...
I'm in the NYC suburbs (Long Island), I know about the cost of living in this area... $250,000 is still very well off. On top of that the $100,000 I was talking about was a married couple with both of them teachers at $50,000 each.

Again the issue was the executives of companies that were propped up via the taxpayer. If you actually watched the damn video you refused to watch you would have seen that this is what the discussion is. Execs making millions and millions via the taxpayer.

Still unable to dispute what I say is true, so you have to again, just blah blah blah, and make me the topic.. Thanks.. I'm flattered...

Again, to compare the two is laughable.. Thats like comparing the salaries of a Janitor who cleans up an arena, and the basketball player who played the game..

Liberals show their inability to understand reality, and fall for this typical left wing bs over and over again..
Cite your sources as to:

1. How much was 'loaned" by all the various agencies of the Federal Government.

2. All the various institutions which were "loaned" the money.

3. The repayment schedules which said institutions have in place to make the "loan" repayments.

TIA

I posted the link, and even explained it to those who couldnt scroll down to the second page to see $70,495 and $74,796 STARTING wages for those with licenses and bachelors.. If you cant scroll down to the 2nd page on the link provided, then I'm not coming to hold your hand..

Another poster who didnt look at just one of the links provided which shows a $70K+ starting wage..
here, since you guys need your hand held, here it goes again..

The taxpayers did not pay the salaries of the executives. In fact many of them would have been fine had the taxpayers NOT given them money.. Ford is a prime example.. GS another, which could have gotten money elsewhere.. (Especially considering Warren Buffet is the primary owner)..

And yet again, comparing executives making millions NOT paid by the taxpayers, (again, the companies were LOANED money), and teachers who ARE is ridiculous..

There was $700B reserved for TARP, but only a fraction of that was ever loaned. The total amount loaned reached $1.1T, but it was the same money loaned, repaid, then reloaned back out, numerous times..

Lots of institutions, from car companies, insurance companies, finance companies, banks, etc... Many of which would have survived just fine without it..

Most of the repayments were made already, be it through repayment of funds, stocks, or warrants that were granted to the government that the government sold..

The questions were what were the institutions which made the "loans" e.g. Federal Reserve, which institutions were given the "loans" and what was the schedule of repayment of those "loans." Try again.....TIA.
