I think the effort to target all teachers, all legislators, all public employees, etc. as the evil-ones is wrong. Everyone deserves to be paid a fair wage for their efforts. People might disagree on what is a "fair wage" is, but the broad-brush demonizing of these groups is not helping resolve the issues.
The poor performers, the liberal activists, etc. need to be weeded from the system. That goes to the education system, the legislators, etc. Those who excel and do a good job should be rewarded.
Careful now! You could start a whole new movement with thinking like that!!! (grin)
