unions killing jobs...

[Cannon Shell]

Teachers and autoworkers unions are almost purely political organiations now. They still fleece as much as possible but mainly to add more money to their own account.

Comparing the US to countries like Luxemborg is silly. When adjusted for GDP of course we will look worse.

The idea that Mexican teachers make more money than our teachers is funny. I had a guy working for me as a groom a few years ago from Mexico that was great at fixing stuff around the barn. I asked him what he did in Mexico. He said he worked as an electrician for the power company. I asked him why he was here since that job sounded like it should pay pretty well. He said he made about $125 a week there (which he thought was ok) but the real reason he quit was that sometimes when they were on the poles if too many people called to complain about power being off, the supervisors would turn the power back on. A guess a couple ofhis coworkers got zapped. He made around $450 a week here. So if skilled electricians were making $125 a week in an extremely dangerous job I'm doubting that Mexican teacjers are making out really well.

The idea that 45k as an entry level salary is not good in most area's of the country is laughable.
