LABOR'S FAT CATS

New York Post ^ | 6/05/02

As teachers (and their rich hip-hop friends) marched on City Hall yesterday demanding pay hikes, the world was learning just how much their big-time union leaders are skimming for themselves - from those very wages.

The irony couldn't be sweeter.

With master's degrees.

And really bad people skills.

I really don't see much difference between the labor's fat cats and the do nothing elected officials the voters send to washington.

Both groups steal money from those whom they are suppose to work for.

Overpaid, self important image of themselves, arrogrant, lying, cheating and selfserving are a few of the better qualifications of the respective job requirements.

Aggggggggggg I can't go on, it's to early in the morning.

With master's degrees.

That would be Master of Education degrees. Well versed in the "how" to teach. Unfortunately, they tend to come up short on the "what" to teach. And the high-poobahs at the teachers colleges think that's just fine. They want teachers to teach students how to learn without anything as base as subject matter mastery creeping in.

I see nothing more sinister about the labor fat cats ripping off their constituents than the average citizen being ripped off by his or her representatives in Washington. The same principle of taxation without representation applies.
