I always find it interesting its class warfare to say the rich should pay more in taxes but its not class war fare to attack teachers. People that go to school take on all kinds of debt to teach the children. Those same children the right are so afraid to leave them debt but a shitty education thats ok.
Also think about the monsters they have to deal with its not kids just waiting to be molded. Its like a prison guard with book in bad neighborhoods.

Tony...watching the news about this the other day they said the AVERAGE school teacher in Chicago makes $71,000
I don't care what anybody says...that's one HELL of a nice paycheck for someone who works 9 months a year.
And when the schoolteachers are making more than the hardworking people paying taxes in Chicago to pay their salaries...it kinda pisses folks off when they go on strike in the middle of a terrible economy with high unemployment.
There's a reason that when FDR made unions legal...he purposefully stated that NO public sector jobs should ever be unionized because they are working for the taxpayer.
