One of the leading lights of Marxism on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison brings home a sweet salary of $170,000 per year.

The well-heeled sociology professor is Erik Olin Wright .. The tenured, capitalism-hating professor’s annual salary of $170,000 is $117,587 greater than the household income of a typical Wisconsin family and is in the top 2 percent of all Americans.

Whil an average middle-class family in Wisconsin survives on $4,368 per month, the Marxist professor enjoys a cushy monthly income of $14,166.

He will teach exactly two courses in the fall semester for this princely sum.

...

The Marxist professor has required students in his courses to watch “An Inconvenient Truth,” the documentary which follows Al Gore around as he jets to several places to sound the alarm about global warming

I bet he thinks he’s underpaid.

[skeeter]

Typical. Most commies believe they should live better than the rest of us.

Because their work is so important, doncha know.

[refermech]

It's the definition of hypocrite

Madison.
No surprise...

If he hates Capitalism, why isn’t he returning his paycheck each month?

I'm going to write him a letter, tell him I'm poor, and to please split it with me.

Do the taxpayers really need to subsidize sociology?

They are, of course, the brainworks of the farm. It is for our sakes they eat all the apples and drink all the milk.

Well, that qualifies him to spew hate against the 1%, doesn't it?

From his dacha on the River. Like all good communists - even those in the slave mines deep under Siberia.

Filthy capitalist dollars, perfesser?

I thought you marxists never touch the stuff.

"If he hates Capitalism, why isn’t he returning his paycheck each month?"

He thinks that because he collects his paycheck from the government, that it is not tainted by capitalism. Of course, the capitalist economy provides the jobs and the taxes that make his government job possible.

He's just another smelly leftist hypocrite, living off the labor of the people while he provides absolutely NOTHING of social utility. If there actually were a REAL leftist revolution, he's the kind of person who would be among the first to be put up against a wall and shot.

He is a teacher and is paid $170,000. a year. He is nothing more. Oh, a pain in the ass, but nothing more.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s shocking that an ***hole pretending to be a Marxist would accept a paycheck. Don’t da boy know he is supposed to be workin’ 4 da cause?

[Steve_Seattle]

Man, he is the absolute cliché image of a left-wing academic prick - the rimless glasses, the tousled hair, the red-and-black garb.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Geez! He/she even looks like a freak!

[Secret Agent Man]

Tenureneeds to be done away with b/c of sh1theads like this.
