Somebody call a WAAAAAAmbulance.......

I'm absolutely sick to death of this American horror story unfolding in the state of Wisconsin. I'm shocked by the video of all of these "teachers" , illegally away from their jobs, waving horribly hateful signs all in the state capital in front of impressionable young people that they drug along with them. (I wonder what Ms. Pelosi will have to say about the "Hitler", "Nazi", and "Mussolini" signs?)
Where is the indignation that our public school systems are in such disarray and such dismal failures in spite of the huge amounts of tax dollars shoveled to their union? Where is the concern for the future of the state's economy? for their JOBS? What would they do in their own homes with their own budgets if they were facing bankruptcy?
AND then there are our democratic "statesmen".....elected to serve the people.....walking out on their jobs as well.
They should be fired...just like any of the rest of us that walked out on our jobs would be. The people of the state of Wisconsin VOTED for their governor to take on the tough job of getting the budget back on track. It's SELFISH for those teachers to illegally walk off the job..and just like the air traffic controllers Reagan fired, so should they be. It's SELFISH for those democratic officials to walk out on the jobs they took an oath to fulfill and every last one of them should be fired and replaced. I'm in disbelief that this group of teachers is refusing to pay a share (not even half what the rest of us pay) of their benefits rather than risk 6000 of them losing their jobs. My family has been through four different layoffs since this country's economic downturn. We didn't have the option of walking out of a job while being paid and picketing the firms making the budget decisions that would cut these jobs. I don't even KNOW anyone privileged enough to blatantly LIE about being sick and show up on t.v. for three days and keep their job!
Idiots...every last one of them,idiots. We are not in danger from a global warming hoax...we are in danger of global stupidity...and selfishness. They should all be ashamed of the example they are setting for those students and for replacing the concern for their students, fellow teachers, and fellow citizens, with such greed.
