This little rant completely ignores the problem being addressed in Wisconsin. Milwaukee teachers make approximately $55,000 per year in salary on average, but they earn an additional $40,000 plus in health and retirement benefits annually.
The public sector unions have turned greedy beyond reason, and the public has had enough. If the teachers are upset about their compensation, perhaps they should seek other employment.

Governor Walker should ask for one teacher to come forward and relinquish his/her job, if the governor can find someone willing to do that job for 15 -20% less than the current compensation. I bet he would have a ton of takers.

It is not a question of having enough. The system is unsustainable, and most of these teachers will never see a pension.
