I am in the wrong profession.

Makes you wonder what the $40k in benefits are for? I would like to see a breakdown of that.

The spokesman also asked whether The Examiner was equally critical of Goldman Sachs “who has received taxpayer dollars” (we have been), though it’s a bit odd that a spokesman for a teachers union that lobbies to funnel more taxpayer dollars toward its members would be so critical of Goldman Sachs for taking taxpayer dollars.

That's rich. A government employees union bitching about a private company receiving taxpayer dollars.

Could we be in for a turf war to see who can shakedown taxpayers even more than we already are?

Like the old saying...Those who can, do. Those who cant, screw the rest of us...

When DumBO complained that Wisconsin was attacking unions and comparing public employees to friends and neighbors, he did not make it a point to compare taxpayers to friends and neighbors. He should stop reading “The Communist Manifesto” and start reading “The Forgotten Man.” Paul does put his hand in Peter’s pocket if they are friends. Friends will help friends.

Milwaukee county salaries

I was particularly "humored" at the figure of 136k a year for barbering/cosmotology instructor at a tech school.....and I would imagine that figure does not reflect the entire compensation costs...

These arguments are all wrong. The real issue is: who pays for the viagra?

[Seruzawa]

Imagine what all the paper pushers make! In moat school districts they outnumber teachers. That’s the other dirty secret. All the rentseekers living fat pushing papers. In most school districts the payroll for non-teachers is greater than the payroll for teachers.

AND THIS IS FOR 9 MONTHS OF WORK!!!

PS-one of my high school yearbooks from the 60’s had a two page spread on the odd jobs some of our teachers were doing over the summer. Now teachers have 3 months off (most don't have to work in the summer) and all school vacations, too. I definitely went into the wrong line of work.
