I know teachers get their summers off . . . Why do so many teachers feel the need to tell people how difficult their job is? It's a profession where there is very little accountability.

You guys are trying to scrap everything he created with the New Deal. The neo-con wing of the GOP is far to the left of FDR. They aren't trying to scrap any big government. They don't even want to ban public sector unions, they just want to slightly cut down on the outrageous costs of them.

Reddy Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 you guys literally blow my mind. it's baffling how selfish some people can be. especially the religious folk. i always find that one hilarious. but i guess it makes sense for Republicans to slash teacher pay, since it's the uneducated who become Republicans in the first place.

EvilMonkey Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I recall several liberal pundits claiming that Issac happening during the convention was a 'sign from God' that he didn't like the Republicans. Then Issac moved on and left them alone, it became 'how can those Republicans party while Issac hits states next door', completely ignoring the actual President who was doing fundraisers all over the country. Then after the convention Romney goes to the effected areas, forcing Obama to change his schedule to do so as well. NOW, on the eve on the DNC, it seems that rain has tried to wash away the narcissist-in-chief's sand sculpture of himself, and they have to furiously rebuild one side of it. So, is this a sign that God hates the DNC? http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside...ay-mount-obama/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Are upper class not having to pay those taxes? Because I thought sales tax, property tax and income tax would apply to them as well. Or are you proposing that taxes should only be raised on the upper class? Im kind of confused as to where this is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
