See the difference? You probably don't!
And the executives and CEOs have a choice about the low pay and lousy benefits they pay in the private sector. Now the disgruntled employees in the private sector want to take the public sector employees down with them! Maybe private sector employees should stand up for their fair share instead! Then you could afford to support your family. It is not the taxes, it is your lousy pay.

I know many teachers who abuse substances, gamble and carry on like douche-bags.

Honestly? I think the "party" is just starting, and it's not just in Wisconsin.

Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

Today just 400 Americans have more wealth than half of all Americans combined.

Let me say that again. 400 obscenely rich people, most of whom benefited in some way from the multi-trillion dollar taxpayer "bailout" of 2008, now have more loot, stock and property than the assets of 155 million Americans combined. If you can't bring yourself to call that a financial coup d'état, then you are simply not being honest about what you know in your heart to be true.

You want to keep donating your children's future to these wealthy people while you are eating beans for dinner?

This post is nothing more than a pathetic attempt to make teachers,( who are for the most part upstanding citizens who contribute to the future of our children) the villain!

If you have to resort to this, you have lost the argument!

Um view it within the context of the post I was responding to.

Point being, teachers have human frailties same as anyone else.
But that point that sailed right over your head now didn't it?

As long as there are folks like you who will give the shirt off their back in support of these extremely wealthy, there will be American laborers working for slave wages!

Thanks for your contribution to America's growing impoverished class!
