Maybe the best video you will watch coming out of the Wisconsin Teachers job action. But then again, theres so much. The teachers have made up the bulk of the protestors pushing back against Tea Party Governor Scott Walkers austerity plan. But its the students ahhh the students, who have provided able backup with people power and ways to solve the crisis. Teach your children well their parents hell and so yada, yada.
As teachers disrupted class at the state capitol to protest Scotts plan to change the mostly teachers compensation plans, students took the opportunity to put the lessons they have learned in school to join the fray. One of those students was interviewed by Gretta VanSusteren, Jacob Fiksel. The interview is priceless especially when Gretta asks ole Jake to offer a solution to Wisconsins $3.6 billion dollar shortfall.

The dem pussies left the state to avoid a vote.
Now they are back.
Let the vote begin!
Solution: vote out all Liberals and RINOs. And, vote out the current Regime in DC in 2012.
I’m wondering how many of these students would be willing to give up a few A’s to their fellow students who are just making C’s.
I read another online discussion where one youth even spouts off the age-old liberal mantra that US citizens enjoy the world's lowest overall tax rates.
Makes homeschooling my own children look like a better and better option every day.
Didn’t see any tea party folks in there on fox
Don’t tax you! Don’t tax me! Tax that fellow behind the tree!
How can they do that when everyone pretty much gets an A now?
Of course, they are known far and wide to make logical and sound suggestions!
/spewing rancid sarc from both ends
D'oh! Why didn't we think of that before!?
We sho am lucky to have stoodents to figger stuff out fer us.
Do you mean hthat everybody gets a C now? Its just a hunch, but i’m gonna’ go out on a limb and say that most modern college students aren’t quite as dedicated as students used to be.
Jacob Fiksel. Yet another bright, articulate member of the facebook/I-pod generation educated in our public school system.
How can they do that when everyone pretty much gets an A now?
True that!
The goal of the left is to not only make everyone comfortable in a cradle to grave nanny state,
but to make them incapable of surviving otherwise.
Oh, the irony! These teachers are dragging their students along for the ride - the very same young people that these teachers expect to pay the bill tomorrow for the excesses and union greed of today. These students better wake up and realize that they are the ones that are going to be on the hook for paying off Wisconsin’s current $3 billion budget shortfall. When their teachers retire, their pension checks will be coming directly from the students’ future paychecks.
Then he gets a economic lesson raising taxes does not increase revenues.
Anyone who looks at when taxes were 90% they can see people change their behavior as one can see any chart from the 1930's no matter what the tax rate the percentage of tax revenues always at 18% of GDP.
Take their cell phones and hand it to a student without one. Take their Nike’s and give it to a student who doesn’t have a pair of them. The youth really can be useful idiots. Not all of them but many of them.
Ahh... the joys of being Obama and not having an understanding of how the real world works
