To put this in perspective the top 5% of earners in America own 72% of the wealth, and yet, here we are, blaming unions for budget shortfalls  #maga |
Just so we’re clear; I’ve never voted Republican in my life.
And not sure what you’d call weathly, but I only really think of 0.1%’ers as wealthy. At that level, you can find all the loopholes to skirt taxes. But someone like myself gives up 50% of my income to the state and government. So you think people like me should give more? Top 5% isn’t egregiously wealthy my friend.
And finally. Pay teachers what they deserve? Maybe in rural America. But Chicago public teacher are absolutely paid “what they deserve.” A tenured teacher makes about the same income as a pediatrician. With better retirement and summers off. Sheesh.....
