I could annihilate everything you said, but let's stick to this one inane point.

Teachers in Wisconsin get a salary that is 32% higher than the average salary for that state. On top of that, they only pay 0.2% of pension osts, and 6% of healthcare costs. They get tons of days off. They have a lifetime jog guarantee called tenure, which make it just about impossible to get fired for incompetence. They get guaranteed pensions for life. They are spared from social security, which is ripping everyone else off.

No one in their right mind would want that job? Why do so many people apply for every teaching vacancy that opens up?
If the jobs are so good why don't you put your money where your mouth is. Take one in CT. at a lower wage than the status quo, pay more for your health insurance, and pension, then see how long you last.

JUst out of curiosity, you say you have the highest property taxes in the nation, what is your house assessed at?

Mine is assessed at 353,000. , what do you think I pay in property taxes?

Bent Rods and Screaming Reels!
