You know what the best part of this is, aside from the teacher congratulating herself for doing it for the love after she just spent two minutes haranguing Christie about money? Apparently — if it’s the same Rita Wilson — she already makes in excess of $86,000. Perfect.

These teachers are as greedy as the fat-cat bankers. It’s all a matter of scale, but they are just as greedy.
This guy may become the male version of Palin...
Note MSM. There is no off duty NJ State Troopers, Tea Party members in T Shirts pushing all the protesting teachers out of the room. Nobody pro tax was beaten up in the parking lot because he was white and deemed a traitor to his race.
bout time someone starts telling these government hookworms that they will have to do without!
I like this guy more and more everyday...
If you have principles, you have to know that some folks will have opposite views, and simply will not vote for you. So, why try to compromise and hope that they like you? They aren't going to. So, stick with your principles and let people know where you stand. People will be attracted to a politician who isn't slimy.
This guy gets it.
When the SHTF, they can go to hell. When they get 0bama’s boot up their behinds I hope there is no lubricant.
You are so right!

That’s what I was thinking. Straight, ADULT talk from a politician. I thought those days were long gone.
I look at it this way:
If you have no enemies, you’re not doing anything.
One Guy did so much He got hung on a cross by his enemies.
I was a teacher, my wife was a teacher. We didn’t exactly starve to death. I must say, though, when I started out in Texas, it was a time when most families had a single-bread winner, and if you were a guy and wanted to teach AND get married and have a family, you had better be a coach AND get a summer-time job. That is not true today.
My first job after Grad School was teaching in Fairfax, Co., VA. I started in 1970 at $10,000. If the cost of living had not been so high in the DC area, that would have been a good salary. That was my first and last year teaching after Grad School.
If this guy keeps going this way and wins his battles, he will certainly be someone to consider in 2012. Woodrow Wilson was governor of New Jersey from 1910-1912 and showed enough stuff to get the Democratic nomination in 1912 and of course to win the presidency.
I was an ed-major almost 20 years ago- and decided to change my professional path for a few reasons, but at the time, teacher’s pay was so-so. Since then, it has really sky-rocketed, especially considering the break factors (i.e. not working a full-year.)
My BA was to teach English. I went through the entire program and student teaching and the tests, passed, got all the certificates and credentials.
Applied for a few jobs, was given offers. But there was no way they would pay enough for me to live near the school, and they were a couple hours away.
That, combined with what I witnessed of the union, and the deplorable curriculum and standards, drove me away and I never taught. Became a professional writer who doesn’t care about grammar and punctuation in Internet postings and email (because I have to play by the rules 8 hours a day and this is my wild time).
I know several retired teachers. They are still doing very well with their pensions. And don’t forget, those that are retiring and living on those fat pensions purchased their homes (most likely) when they were still very affordable by a single-earner.
With what we are facing in the private sector today, with bubble-level home prices and a devalued dollar that requires both husband and wife to work just to get by every month, and all this combined with 20% unemployment (U6), it is an absolute crime that these greedy bastards are not only refusing to consider a cut in raises but are actually demanding more from the taxpayer.
It is almost like they have completely forgotten, when they shake their fists and scream their protest chants, that it is their neighbor who is paying their salary and chipping in to their pension fund...their neighbor who may not be able to make this month’s mortgage payments.
Look at Greece a few weeks ago if you want to know where all this is headed.
Indeed. I haven’t been “hot for teacher” in a long time
They’re greedy and selfish and bitter
He rules in every sense of the word.
I started more than 50 years ago. I could have got a job with ATT&T as a mathematician-trainee for 20% more than I got as a starting high school teacher. A starting salary in that district where I started—pretty high paying for Texas—is no more —adjusting for inflation—more than that trainee job. Of course, taxes were lower then. No sales tax even. But no health insurance. In fact until I went to work for the federal government when I was about 30, I had no health insurance, except for one year. Luckily was as healthy as a horse.
My fave line...”It’s a travesty! The library in this town is having its budget slashed!!!!!”
No you dunce...a travesty is the scumbag you voted for president, the taxes you pay in NJ, and that mega-oil spill in the GOMEX.
DUNCE
