And you tax returns

Hey, my mom was a teacher for 35 years, I also taught for 6 years before moving on to other interests, so I have nothing but respect for the profession. However, we have all had the teacher (like the only referenced in this article) that was just plain awful. Just like there are terrible lawyers, doctors, contractors a...more

Teachers generally get paid monthly, and it's such a small amount that people currently working at McDonalds laugh. The truth of the matter is, parent accountability is at an all time low, and teacher accountability is at an unforeseen high.

I attended (at the time) one of the largest party schools in the nation.

However, just to entertain your post, there ar...more

The fix is quite simple. Leave the middle class alone, as they are the backbone of this country. Tax the rich a bit more, and close up some of the tax loopholes that allow tools like Mitt Romney to pay a 15% tax rate. Then, perform a massive overhaul of welfare and food stamps and make it embarrassing for people to hav...more
