Our Superintendent earns $300,000 plus something ridiculous like 70 vacation days and benefits. It's a racket, yet dare to vote down their outrageous increases every year and they scream and carry on, refuse to work past contract hours, wear their black union shirts on Fridays and on and on. Meanwhile, student enrollment is down 10% over the past 6 years, but its costing the taxpayers $37,000 per student! That, my friends, is not SUSTAINABLE.
But it's all about the children!

They are called "greedy pigs", but you are being responsible?

It's basically the same thing. When you need to cut services, you do.....without regard for the people that you effect.
1) Who says they 'must'?

2) Household and personal income versus Business profit are not the same thing, basically or otherwise.

3) Maybe Romney and Ryan like firing people, but I think most people are like me and have regard for the people they cannot continue to pay for services that aren't essential when budgets get tight.

Companies lay people off during tough times or slow downs. No one calls them greedy for this.

There is a form of capitalist we shall call a "Vulture Capitalist (thanks Rick Perry)" whom most supporters of capitalism hold in high disregard.

This thread starter is not only intellectually dishonest, it is deceitful and deceptive and pathetically devoid of reason and honesty.
