Redistribution of wealth

Based on days worked, who gets the higher salary? Originally Posted by I B Hankering

The point was that the WI Gov thought the teachers should put more skin in the game. Gates suggested the exact same thing.

I do understand why you two want to change it into a salary issue. You are getting your brains beat out on the logic issue.

I was talking about a WI rate you dumb ass, the starting pay is NOT stated on that line, now IS IT? READING COMPREHENSION!!! Originally Posted by DFW5Traveler

First you say you did not say it....now you come back and have to explain why you did! Make up your mind. Were you and I B seperated at birth?.

Furthermore you stated an erroneous average salary for teachers when discussing the starting pay for military! WTF.....how the hell am I suppossed to know that you didn't know what you are talking about. If I wasn't so smart, I'd never figure out what you are trying to hide.

You pick and choose what government workers should pay more of their medical insurance, just like that phoney WI Gov. You should run for office. You'd give Pinocchio a run for his nose

On the contrary, you're the one twisting his words. He said nothing about any contract. All he whined about was how much an E-3 would make if they had to contribute to their health care. Originally Posted by Doove

Talk about reading comprehension. You can't even understand what you wrote.

Oh yes you did. You changed the discussion from one of government workers pay more into the system. That is why you will not talk about should the WI police or firemen pay more like the WI Gov is asking teachers. It is a chickenshit move on all parties that will not address that topic. Either you believe all government cost workers healthcare are the problem or none.

I swear I think those two boys are confused , they think their peckers will grow instead of their nose. Pinocchio only wish that were true fella's!

Let's both pray there is no Christian Hell, for I have no doubt, should such a place exist, I shall meet and welcome you at the front gate when you arrive . . . and then we shall have eternity to enjoy each other's company. Won't that be fun?

This thread has become a Hell all by itself. Someone should pour some water on it....Mods.

All: I'm in a meeting and will respond later unless MA steps in. I am going to post a new thread about my feelings about D&T. FWIW, I did post yesterday about taking it down a notch.

But Charles, I said "please."

How 'bout them Braves!

I think all government employee's should get ready to tighten their belts. That includes teachers and military employee's.

Feel free to add whay you might.

I was the one that asked leading questions to DFW5, so I should know WTF I was getting at.

Another premis of mine is that folks are hypocritical in just what government employees they want to shoulder more to help bring down the cost of government.

You and DFW5 and the Gov of WI are prime examples. The Gov exempeted police and firefighters and you two seem to want to exempt the military. Prime voters for the GOP. Nothing will be done if every side gets to exempt their pet projects. Is that so hard to understand?

I really do not care about just WTF each salary starts out at or the average. I would like to clear these two hurdles and then maybe move onto the fairness in pay but DFW5 seems to want it both ways. He claims teachers are paid based on market conditions and then makes some special exemption for the military.

Please show me where I turned the discussion.

There are huge similarities, I am focusing on those because DFWS focused on the monetary issue, mainly the one that we are going broke and can not afford continuing to do exactly what we had been doing. So focusing on having teachers pay more into their healthcare cost is a fair comparison vs. soldiers pay more into theirs. It is as close to apples as one can get. .
