We finally have the video of Governor Chris Christie and the New Jersey teacher having it out over her paycheck and it will make your day! This teacher, Rita Wilson, tries to rally the support of the crowd by waving her finger in the air and spitting her words indignantly at Christie for not “compensating her” fairly for her time. She believes she is worth at least $86,000 a year as a teacher and that doesn’t include the additional benefits that the corrupt teacher’s unions makes sure the teachers get as well. However, it’s Governor Christie’s response that makes the audience erupt in cheers! This video is classic Chris Christie!!! Enjoy!

Thank you!!
Rita is a teacher and she lied to Governor Christie
She makes almost $87K plus benefits for 9 months of work (estimated, counting off days for summer, federal and religious holidays and school breaks)

Thanks for saving everyone a trip to a blog.
Surprisingly favorable coverage.
What a refreshing change from that snake Corzine.
I LOVE THIS GUY! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GOVENOR!!!!!
Teacher greed is the strongest force in America.

She is a classroom bureaucrat who makes full time pay for a part time job.
Our government schools are the product of rejecting the capitalist school system we had and socializing that industry. When we socialized the schooling industry we set the course for the cesspool the schools turned into.
We need to get rid of socialized schooling and return to a free market system like we used to have.

She actually said “you’re not compensating me for my education”. These union teachers disgust me. Full of self satisfied high opinions of themselves in the face of a record of utter failure to educate kids. Like she’s such a martyr taking 80k.
“Teachers do it because they love it”. Yeah, they love the excellent pay and how the union has disconnected them from any responsibility for job performance. They love being a teacher. What’s not to love?
Chris Christie is the most principled politician I’ve seen in decades. We need 535 more like him in Congress and I’d take a cabinet full of Chris Christie clones serving a Chris Christie president.
If you or I went to Lowes's and bought a chainsaw, took it home, and the thing had no power, spewed oil, and the trigger fell off, would we go back and give Lowe's more money to correct the disaster?
Isn't that the situation with our public schools and the overpaid whining NEA?
It is competition that makes each of us honest about our value.

Teaching is a difficult job these days. My mom was a teacher and I deeply respect their choice of a profession.
HOWEVER,
She gets a 3% increase in her retirement every year and she sits back and wonders how the state can do it. Its because of the union.
I also know that while dealing with young people every day is a pain in the neck (or lower), there are parts of my job that suck too. But, I knew what the deal was when I started. Teachers know what the deal is as well.
My wife used to be a broadcast journalist. She used to joke with the folks at work about, “Everyone thinks they are the hardest working man in Show-biz.” That phrase comes to mind when I listen to teachers complain.
I hated my career. I changed it. Now I work for myself. I know what it is to earn a dollar and I work hard for it.
I wish they worked half as hard as I.

Exactly what we need in Washington.
CC is my new hero.
She really was whining, her analysis of how much she should make for individually tutoring each kid was exaggerated, and then when she started yelling that teachers work “because they love it” she totally torpedoed her economic argument.
My wife is a NJ public school teacher, voted for Christie, and hates the union for its ridiculous attitude.
As well as, let me guess, a defined benefit retirment plan which probably enables them to retire at, say 55 or so, unlike many of us in the private sector.
IOW, the kind of crap that shoots our property taxes through the roof here in the People's Republic of Illinois.
Leave it to the government owned reporterette to go into a lengthy description of the “audience” which supposedly contained many who supported the governor. Naturally this means any audience response or approbation must be taken with a grain of salt. Sorry, honey, but it ain’t working!!
