These People Are Disgusting…

The far left is using a woman’s suicide to attack Governor Scott Walker.

The Progressive, a liberal website in Wisconsin, reported this week that a Wisconsin teacher committed suicide because of Governor Scott Walker’s union bill. The website says she was “distraught” to learn that she was going to have to pay 12.6% instead of 6% of her insurance premium...

“Sounds like a lot of mentally unstable union members.”

yeah and the bad thing is;
THEY are teaching your kids. Not only in Wisconsin but also in the other 56 states.

Seems to be a consensus here that this woman had serious mental health issues. Libs never want to let a crisis go to waste, so of course they would blame her actions on the Budget Bill.

If you really believe that, are you making plans to move away from the USA? Seems the only solution to you?

Just think, she is now saving money. She will not have any more health care premiums to pay this year.

That sets a fine example for the kids in her class.

Now they’ll all be distraught too, so they’ll have to send in the International Union of Psychological Counselors and teach them all to be gay.

So we run the numbers just so everyone knows;
71808 * .06 = 4308.88 / 12 = 359.04/Month
71808 * .126 = 9047.81 / 12 = 753.98/Month

Killed herself over 394.44 a month on a 71K salary. Right. One wonders just how overextended she was in other aspects of her financial life.

"DISGUSTING"

What's disgusting are the flippant comments about this poor woman killing herself. Can't we set aside politics for a minute and show some respect for the dead? Does everything have to be politicized?

The teachers agreed to the premium increase, it was the restrictions on collective bargaining that got their panties in a knot.

She killed herself for the wrong gripe!

public workers, including teachers, contribute a significant amount of their salaries to health care and pensions

She sounds like a public worker who has a parasite mentality and survives off of what she can take from the producers, who can't face reality and accept the fact that the producers are no longer willing to be victims and prey.

And it’s NOT Mr. Scott. It’s Gov. Walker.

What’s worse for us in Florida, she is teaching our kids. And then they wonder why the Student Success Act has passed the House and is on its way to clearing the Senate. Tenure is on its way out in Florida.

Yup.

But Rick Scott is coming under fire here for asking for cuts in education to help trim our deficit. If you ask me education is the LAST PLACE you go for cuts. If you want to trim fat, you get rid of a lot of overpaid school board members who contribute little if anything to educating our children.

Poor? Her salary and benefits totaled over $90,000 a year. She wasn't Donald Trump, but she wasn't poor. To call her poor is to insult the taxpayers of Wisconsin who paid her salary and the bulk of her benefits.

Well, we should just turn this around on them. No more raising taxes as it might cause people to suicide, in fact they should cut them deeply in order to restore mental health to us all.

I meant poor in the sense of being an object of pity. Just imagine being so troubled that you want to end your own life.
