The equivalent private sector job for a teacher in a public school would be a teacher in a private or parochial school. You know, those schools which have to actually convince their customers to pay tuition when they are already paying property taxes for a free public education.
Okay, I see the relevance there. What I’m saying is that there are other government jobs that pay way more than teachers such as those toll booth people who make upwards of $100,000 a year and school janitors in NYC who make around $80,000
And he claims that this disparity -- which he doesn't show in the first place -- is "unsustainable". Which only shows how challenged Rush is in terms of integrity, intelligence, and basic mathematics.

Sorry, I understand and agree with LEGITIMATE arguments that public employees, generally, often make more money than they should; but this is NOT a legitimate argument.
Plus, I'm very annoyed and disappointed (disgusted) with Rush lately; only in part due to his propensity toward this kind of LIE via statistics.
It didn't take much convincing. My grandkids (3) are going to parochial school, for under 5 grand a year (I pay for all 3), and get to pray every day and go to church as well as get a quality education, with class sizes of fewer than 20 students.
Yes, I pay for the public schools as well, but for me, the investment in the kids is worth it.
their degrees are simplistic...they are in it for the time off, but somehow they also mangaged to get extreme benefits and pensions....
I loved my teachers as a child...we respected them....your parents always took their side no matter what...
but I'm not impressed the last 30 yrs...not at all....a lot of them seem to be silly and shallow...
notice how the teachers are somehow now a group that is just assumed to be UNDER PAID...OVER WORKED...and THEY SPEND ALL THEIR MONEY ON SUPPLIES FOR THEIR CLASSROOMS and THEY DO ALL THAT WORK AT HOME that we don't know about, we stupid fools...
its a major coup for the teachers union that we're supposed to believe all that crap....infact, their pay is SUPERIOR to other similar degrees...IF they buy anything for their classrooms, the national average is about$200....big deal....most of us bring things to our work that we never get reimbursed for...and notice now they get that $250 credit on their taxes.....they can say they work at home long hours but they don't...they actually get days off at school to do their work at home "work"...
what a racket...
