How to buy votes and create an army of people to campaign for democrats. 1) you make it an unwritten rule of the job that you should campaign for Demorats. 2) You dont move up in the organization unless you follow rule 1 3) When layoffs come and you didn't follow rule one you get the removed.

Geez you dont know that county, city and state employees in IL are forced to buy tickets to functions, and go out and actively campaign for some office holders.

Union employees sure are happy arent they! LOL just like teachers berating kids with A D D and thinking nothing of it.

We can always do what the president wants and retirement class envy. If you retire from the government with more than 200K in net wealth, this includes bank account home cars etc, your pension will be taxed at a 67% rate (thats from the Kennedy years) and those with under 200K will be taxed at the regular 33% rate. That way they can pay out lots of pension money but very little will actually end up in the hands of the employee.. Or we can be sensible and decide the Fed government needs to move to 401K plans just like private industry. All employees with less than 10 years service will be moved into 401K's and the employee pays that matching amount into it. Its what we can afford and makes fiscal sense.

I would like Romney a LOT more if he steps down after one term and allows Rubio to run. :-)

As a parent and tax payer, which is to say employer, I cant believe anyone would say that. We send our kids out every day and expect a certain amount of respect from the people we employ to teach our children. But in some regards you are right people are too stupid or to lame to really raise the roof on the fact the education system is broken and the results of democratic control has done nothing to FIX the problem. When will we fire the bad management in our government?

I think many teachers are great but just like a bad cop a bad teacher that can not even be fired ruins everyone's reputation. Good luck in your chosen career you have a lot to overcome.

I hope this guy sent the video to all of the parents in that room. They really need some help and I think Town Hall should try and put pressure on these politicians like Christie to fix this. I am so tired of news organizations pointing out the bad but doing nothing about it. You have the power of the press and friends and you can drop the dime on these scum bags. Town Hall help! Help this man.

Why because she is empowering a parent who otherwise would get stepped on by the Unions? This is a big deal. People need to understand that teachers in this country have way way overstepped their bounds when it comes to entitlement. There should be a "Your Fired" , with no cost to the school, message in the envelope. Thats not going to happen since the Unions worked out the long and costly process of keeping mediocre and bad teachers on the dole for votes.

This is the problem with people who feel entitled. The teachers union has been a disaster for the public education system for decades. We need vouchers and standards.
