I wonder if she had her Che shirt on when she said this.

The “Tyranny of the 1%” she speaks of is THIS ADMINISTRATION!

Yeah, because she’s talking about the 1% of “Americans” who inhabit that swamp between Maryland and Virginia.

Speaking of tyranny, I wonder how she feels about teachers in Michigan being forced to sue to escape their marxist unions.

Teacher of the year? Why not get your class size down to something you can handle: perhaps one teacher per student? I'd like to know what her IQ is.

Is IQ still measured? I hope years ago as children we were not allowed to know ours.

And I bet if I told her that the 1% used to earn 65% of all income but under Obama the top 1% earned 93% of all income she would just call me a racist.

She’s upset about her COLA while the people who pay her have to worry about such trivia as their homes and jobs./s
To: TurboZamboni
Teacher of the year and she doesn't know the difference between a Republic and a Democracy. I am not surprised. Being from WI her attitude doesn't surprise me either. During the Act 10 battle I saw one leading her whole class (grade school) to an overpass with commie clenched fist signs to protest the duly elected Governor and Legislature.
The true tyranny that we have is that of the government class.

“Obama and cronies are the 1%”
“the tyranny of those who actually pay taxes?”
Both of you are right. Just like the politburo in the USSR, we now have a ruling class, and these are truly the 1% (including those in the news and entertainment industries who control the public message - i.e. propaganda). On the other hand, the ‘other’ 1%, who get blamed for everything by the left, include those who have worked hard, been successful, and pay the taxes that keep the real 1% rolling in money and power. What a country...
To: demshateGod
Admittedly I didn't waste time listening to her speech.
From the majority of the comments I read on the blog I'd say that most are whining about the inequalities of outcomes from wasting their parents money on an education that doesn't guarantee their happiness.
Phrases bandied about including “getting rich off the backs of” tell me all I need to know about the mind set of socialist indoctrination.

I won’t state the county where I grew up...but if you rounded up the general class of the winners and losers....it’s a simple mix.
There’s around two hundred folks in the county that pull in $100,000 or more a year. Some are lawyers...some are bankers...some are real estate players...and a couple are farmers.
In the next group of $50,000 to $100,000....around sixty percent of the teachers in the county fall into this category. They wouldn’t want the general public to know their full income and benefit package....but after age forty...they are clearing a fair amount of money. If they continue to age sixty-five...most are pulling in three-thousand a month on their pension and another $1,800 on their social security.
If anything...we are proving the point over and over....that it’s time to allow smart kids to test and leave school at sixteen, and trim back the educational wasteland that they’ve developed.
To: TurboZamboni
They get a hell of a lot more than that! It is usually around 80-90K. Their benefits are pretty darned cushy...
