What this really demonstrates is a key aspect of socialism. The people that are rewarded in a socialist system, are the central planners and their loyal employees. Washington DC is now one of the richest areas in the USA. Government salaries have exploded in the last generation. These people want even more taxation and government intervention, because they themselves will be rewarded.
In the former Soviet Union, the central planners lived an elite lifestyle of luxury. The rest of the population lined up to buy bread. Also, check out how so many socialist members of the UN live in grand luxury. The head of UNICEF is reported to make over a million dollars a year.
This is why socialism has so many supporters. They get to feed at the government trough.
How about this comment from the ungrateful teaching bitch in Ohio, "After 20 years, most teachers are making $50,000 — woo-hoo," she said. "Our pension and our security are part of the long-range outlook of our profession."
They think they're rocket scientists and deserve that pay scale. But let's not count the 3 months off they have every fucking summer! Socialist assholes!!
Even in brain-damaged California you don't get a $174K pension as a teacher. This guy spiked his pension by getting an administrator job like superintendent or something.
It's the superintendents and college presidents that get the outrageous six-figure pensions in their 50's, but it'll be the lunch ladies and the bus drivers that will suffer when the bosses have finished hoovering out the pension fund.
I disagree with your assertion that everyone is fluent in English. I'm not sure what the average citizen is speaking but it's not always quite up to the "English" designation.
"I disagree with your assertion that everyone is fluent in English."
Yup, just read "In the Basement of the Ivory Tower" -- written by a guy who tries to teach English 101 to boneheads at the local community college, a thankless and futile task indeed.
school teacher would be an excellent job. Work 9 months per year, and retire early with pension and health care, all backed by the taxpayer.
