Education Pensions in Illinois

Of the top 100 Pensions in Illinios, 94 of them are educators.

Want to know where your property taxes are going?
Want to know where your State Income Tax is going?
Look no further than educators in Illinois.

What's worse, the amount getting paid out is going to escalate over the next twenty years.

This isn't a glimpse of what solialism will be like, this is socialism, on the backs of private enterprise and the hard working folks of America.

You don't have to live in Illinois, this is happening in EVERY STATE to various degrees.

The public sector is preparing to suck the private sector dry.

I disagree with the end of the video when it states that this is Socialism.

Nothing could be further from the truth. It looks like most of us get poor while a small group of public employees get filthy rich.

It looks like the business owners ( Otto ) are pissed because they have to give up a larger slice of there riches to feed the public unions that they feel do not deserve the money.

One greedy group fighting another greedy group, and the tax payer is the loser both ways.

@6489532ab On the contrary, business owners are pulling up stakes and moving to another State, more jobs will be lost. There's a mass exodus going on in Illinois right now due to the 67% tax increase. Which will mean fewer jobs, fewer taxpayers, and less revenue for the State. Illinois is quickly moving into an unsurmountable sink hole with no bottom to it. This is the legacy of Democrats and the incestuous relationship they have with the unions.

THIS VIDEO IS STRAIGHT BULLSHIT! This video is the product of a group in Wheaton that cherry picks teacher facts and avoids other state pension facts to demonize teaching. Their leaders have pension benefits and retirement resources far greater than those of the average state employee.

[weneedmccain]

You are incorrect. These are the facts, and they are undisputed.

It's public pensions that have bankrupted California, and it's about to happen in Illinois. I am not, nor anyone connected to this video from Wheaton or anywhere close.

So I would say every one of your comments are erroneous, ignorant and entirely bullshit.

Come on conservatives move to Texas. Liberal who started this pension plan, stay and pay.

I agree with ciscokid998: Freedom of Choice in education will build a better student. Any person who says otherwise, has never looked to see where the American student stands in the world. Our rank is near the bottom, beneath 3rd world countries. Paying more for education does not give you a better education.

illinois is very simalar to califorina high taxes on top of that doesnt help either. America is getting out of contrull with these stupid people like the openly gay guy i forget his name

@weneedmccain The problem with performance based education is how do you fairly measure it? Do you reward the teachers that receive the high achievers who will always score well and punish the teachers who receive the low achievers that do not test well. Teachers do not choose their students, plus, students are not products, they are people. What do teachers do about students that refuse to pick up a pencil to participate? When do we hold students & their parents accountable as well?

[weneedmccain]

@henryoil I have nothing against the teachers. There are some excellent teachers out there who do not receive the compensation they should because there is no performance based education system - because of the unions, everyone must be paid the same, good or bad. Think about the rubber rooms in New York that cost 100 Million a year for teachers to sit, sleep, read and put in their time.

[henryoil]

@weneedmccain America ranks so low in education for a variety of reasons and it is the fault of the system, not the teachers. 1. Many places in the world only teach the cream of the crop, we teach everyone and have a stupid law called No Child Left Behind that expects every kid to test on level, sorry, thats not reality. 2. Today's society does appreciate or foster education and expect teachers to raise the students. Blame politicians for ruining education, but leave teachers alone.

[henryoil]

@weneedmccain Once there are no pensions, benefits, of any kind, we are just going to have excellent teachers. We will just have so many people rushing to go into a field & face unruly youngsters, irate parents and still be villainized. I wonder how many six figure salaried governors, superintendents, politicians like ole Weiner, and county commissioners are willing to sacrifice their pensions like they are asking teachers to do?

[orangedac]

what's worse is that if these teachers pension funds make a loss gambling on the stock market, they tap the govt who steals from the private sector taxpayer ot make good their losses.

meanwhile most workers in the private sector don't even have a pension! yet they have to fund someone else's pension.

public sector unions = making some other sucker pay for your lavish salary & retirement.

[finerbiner]

@fosnaugh123 You mean like stupid people who forget the names of gay people that have nothing to do with whatever incoherent comment they thought they were making. Are you the pot or the kettle dude?

[finerbiner]

Otaruihic What you really meant was. OH SHIT,WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF EVERYONE FINDS THIS OUT. Between employer and employee, aprox. 13.5% of income is paid to social security with an eventual payout of 30% of yearly income. Teachers and other public servants pay 9% of income and get a payout of 75-80% of yearly income. Also public servants are eligible for benefit at a much earlier age. This is and will bankrupt the state.You misrepresent this and you are an educator?Or an educated fool?
