Maybe your property taxes aren't high enough but mine sure are. And I'm sick of listening to teachers whine about how little money they make when they only work 185 days a year and make more money than a lot of other people who work year round. In the school district where I live, the average teacher earns $52,000 a year plus benefits. If someone can't live off that, it isn't my problem.,
Substitute "Congressman" for "teacher" and make a few minor adjustments to the rest of it and I'll agree with you. ;-)

Name one Congressman who is complaining about thir salary (please provide a link) and whose stated work year is 185 days. The quality of what happens in a year may be up for debate but your parallel falls askew. Also, substitute "DMV Worker" or any other public servant -- but they don't complain the way teachers do.
