Wow! They're down to only 7 months now??? I thought they worked nine months (not factoring in the time they spent before and after the school years starts, since that obviously isn't real work)? And only working 35 hours per week total, including prep time, after school work, meetings, etc? Where do I sign up???
Based on what you've told me, I must hypothesize that pretty soon all public school teachers will only be working three months out of the year and making $75K/year (obviously all take home with the huge tax write offs they get), plus another $75K a year in health care and pension benefits (again, all factored as take home pay).
This is such a great deal!!!
Am I wrong, or do you simply not like what I wrote?
Republicans are always hysterically funny when it comes to teachers. Admit it. The only reason Republicans don't like teachers is because most do not vote Republican. That's the honest truth. It isn't about anything else but votes.
I dont believe one Republican here has criticized a teacher..

So now you think all teachers are Democrats? Thats a pretty far out statement.. Do you have anything to substantiate it, or should we just take your word for it..

Most people have exhausting work.. Stop pretending they are any different

No one has many that claim either.. Are you just making this up as you go along?

You are just being ridiculous.. I'm agnostic, I wouldnt send my kids to a catholic school if it was free. Some Republicans want church run schools to be on a voucher system, but how is that any different than what we have now?

They weren't comparing salary to salary, they were comparing comments made about cutting middle class teacher's salaries to comments made about cutting CEO pay for bailed out companies.
Its like a childish little rant from the left who cant comprehend the difference between a CEO and a teacher..

And? $100K salary for two teachers is decent pay.. No one said they were wealthy, they said they should see a paycut to their "ample" $50K a year salary because they are GOVERNMENT employees.. This is true.. A $50K a year salary is "ample" and as a government employee, if you are cutting the size of government, salaries would obviously be included..
And they said that $250,000 is "not rich", and "close to poverty" FOR CEO's.. $250,000 is indeed "not rich".. and for a CEO is IS poverty..
The statements are FACTUALLY TRUE.. You can pretend that they arent but that doesnt mean that they are false.
Even Obamas "pay czar" had to conceed that they couldnt find a CEO qualified to run GM for $250,000 and they had to double the pay.. What CEO would take a pay cut of millions of dollars to run a business?
I can tell you that my mother is old at 50, but my grandmother is young at 70, (not their real ages) both would be true if you compare them to other indivuals of my age and look at the age of their parents and grandparents..
You cant take relatively out of the equation without just playing stupid.. Games like this is worthy of comedy channel.. They dumb down to the lowest common denominator. I've been through this before on this very same thread and I'm not about ready to go through it again. If you dont understand that pays are relative to the supply/demand of the workforce, then I ask you to go to all of your neighbors, find out who has the lowest possible paying job, and I challenge you to go into work tomorrow and tell them you want a pay cut equal to your porrest neighbors. After all, according to you, people shouldnt be paid different...
You are so off the mark it's not even funny. It's actually because teachers are paid by tax payers to indoctrinate youth with liberal propaganda. It's part of the liberal ideology.
Is that why the right despises teachers and anyone with an form of education.

Compared to other CEO $250,000 isn't much, but $250,000 isn't poverty for anyone. Regardless no mention of CEO's in the $250,000 is almost poverty comment.....

I already said that I didnt agree with the statement about $250,000 being "poverty".. I clearly said it was for "CEO"s..
