Lol just some more dumb ass republican who believe what people tell them as opposed to searching and doing research on the actual topic. To believe that teacher are wealthy is ridiculous I come from background of public education and I knew many of my teachers worked second jobs some even three anyone who says like wise is a disgusting human being.

The teachers' unions, like WEAC, are among the most well-funded political special interest groups in the nation. Union leadership, including the individual here, generally makes far more than the classroom professionals they supposedly represent. Think WEAC is powerful or wealthy? Just look at their file at the Government Accountability Board to see how much they spend, on the record, trying to influence lawmakers.

WOW a really rich guy you interviewed. That rich teacher doesn't even have hubcaps. WOW really exposed America to the truth about teachers and their radical trainings. But I know...that must be the car he drives to the conferences, his Mercedes is at home in the 5 car garage...because that's what those rich teachers do! They deceive us!! Oh how I feel deceived by this man!

WEAC's Ted Kraig, according to IRS documents, has an annual compensation in excess of $100,000 a year.

Classic. Yes, don't look at how much money the CEOs make over at Koch Industries since that is right in line with what their workers make! Let me see if I can get this cryptic logic down, don't worry about how much Brian and Bill and their sugar daddy makes at Koch, let's worry about union salaries! You are a complete and utter joke. How do you sleep? So how much does your sugar daddy pull in? Come on Brian, you can post it!

[recallscottwalker12]

Yes indeed, will Brett and Brian ever let us know how much they make each year?? Well??? We're waiting!!!

[recallscottwalker12]

Let's wait to see when Brian and Brett let everyone know how much they take home each year! We're waiting....and waiting...

[recallscottwalker12]

Come on Brian and Brett release your W2s and show the world how much money you're taking in off the Koch teet! How much does Koch spend on your lovely office?? We're waiting....

[recallscottwalker12]

So how much money do you make Brian and Brett?? I'm guessing all the Koch cash you're getting is much more than what this guy pulls in. How about posting your W2s?? Still waiting...

Their bosses salaries are funded largely by the Koch brothers!

If you count benefits - what are the McIver bosses making? Billions!

""Special interests" control the media, the education system, the banking system AND the crony political class because YOU foolish "Progressives" give corrupt politicians ever MORE power over our daily lives.

Politicians always use their power to "regulate & redistribute" to buy "campaign support" from the "special interests" (Wall Street, Unions, Corps.) to keep themselves in power. It's easy to spend other people's money.

FREE Competition stops corruption. Regulation kills competition!
