after 25 years of teaching science, a masters degree in computers in the classroom only to never use it because the AZ politics wants to go back to the 50's. and wants to pay what was paid in the 50's I get where she is coming from. 53, 5 years till I make my 80 point if they don't pull the rug out from under me at the last minute. In this atmosphere My wage is going down from a high of 40,000$. Here in AZ I cry every morning, waiting for the next bomb. I did not crash the market: rich folks did. I did not under pay everyone: rich folks who hire all of us did. I did not tell you your house was an investment then sell your papers to crash other governments: the rich folks did. I a science teacher work very hard 7 am to 5 pm, I live in a single wide trailer that I call home in hopes to own it by the end of this gig. This year I became an at will employee. I pay for paper, copier, my computer and my mandatory upgrades to education myself. My beloved students hate we teachers now because the Glen Becks of the world tell them too. We teachers are in pain and sorrow. We gave our lives for the hope of America we did not sell you out. We are not holding the money. Follow the money. Follow the money. Shoot them. Oh yea I forgot. The rich are bullet proof as an AZ teacher I am a sitting duck easy target. You guys are cheap lousy shots If you are aiming my way.
