I worked every week of my life since I was 14, and picked fruit of all types every summer since I was 8 before that.
I'm college educated.
I served this country for 12 years in the military, and will willingly stand in the forefront to this day to defend her against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.
I'm disabled, and receive an entitlement (to which I am ENTITLED to for PAYING FOR IT by my labor being taxed all those years for just such an event of disablement) of 15,600 a year.
Fucking Oklahoma teachers are walking off the job because they only make currently 45,000 a year, and were given JUST a 6,100/year raise from the biggest tax hike in history, bringing them to 51,000+.
The MSM has been touting their dire situation non stop while singing their praises.
Maybe if teachers were given a merit based raise based on their success rate as teachers, I wouldn't mind. But Oklahoma is an all or none state when it comes to teacher's pay raises. Lazy, bad, vital, successful, doesn't matter. And I've dealt first hand with teachers here. Some of them are as ignorant as a rock, and some are dedicated, caring educators.
What's wrong with this picture?
And any fucking 'teacher' who could 'educate' me on how this makes sense, feel free to try.
But please don't use Core math to prove the point, I isn't eddicated enuff to git THAT shit...
With all the stupid debt they have (student loans, car payments, and credit cards), I would be willing to bet that what isn't spoken for by creditors is less than what you bring home. And many of them are paying for stupid decisions in other ways, too (single mom or child support, depending).
ReplyDeleteI don't feel sorry for them, either. You can't fix stupid. More money isn't going to help.
And have the gall to use, "for the children" with a straight face.
