Hello kettle. In their tolerant view, only UPOS may donate millions of dollars to campaigns. Conservative causes, not so much 'cause that just ain't fair dang it. Those evil Koch boys trying to buy congress. When will it end? :>} For "educators", they're really not that bright.

I’m sure they are a little sensitive after Gov Scott Walker(WI) kicked their A**es three times and drained their coffers.

Teachers unions are the scourge of our educational system, right up there with the enforced liberal curriculum.

Bullcrap. There is no such thing as economic inequality. Everyone has the same opportunity to participate in the economy and are therefore equals. What is not "equal" are the skills, education, determination, dedication and honesty of individuals which leads to lesser economic achievement than others.

I repeat, there is not economic inequality here in the US, there is only underachieving or ill-prepared individuals that fail to meet their desired economic achievement.
