TEACHERS IN WISCONSIN MAKE MORE THAN TWICE THE PER CAPITA INCOME OF THEIR FELLOW WISCONSINITES (UPDATED)

• THE AVERAGE TEACHER PAY IN WISCONSIN IS NEARLY $50,000; THEY GOT A 4.7% RAISE LAST YEAR AND 21% OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS.

• THEY EARN MORE THAN TWICE THE AVERAGE PER CAPITA INCOME FOR CHEESEHEADS.

• (UPDATE: ANOTHER DATA SET FOR WI PER CAPITA INCOME HERE.)

• LOOKED AT ANOTHER WAY (UPDATE): THE AVERAGE TEACHER IN WISCONSIN IS PAID MORE THAN THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD EARNS IN WISCONSIN, (AND 42% OF USA HOUSEHOLDS HAVE 2 EARNERS!) - BUT THE TEACHER PAYS NEXT TO NOTHING FOR HER BENEFITS.
  

THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE, ISN'T IT: THEY DON'T PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF BENEFITS.

AND THEY'RE REFUSING TO PAY EVEN THE TOKEN AMOUNT THAT THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNOR AND THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED STATE LEGISLATURE WANTS THEM TO BEGIN PAYING. (VIA GLENN!)

THIS WILL NOT STAND.

THEIR THUGGISH ANTI-DEMOCRATIC TACTICS WILL NOT WORK.

THE PEOPLE, UNITED, CAN NEVER BE DEFEATED.

UPDATE: INSTALANCHE! THANKS, GLENN! HE HAS LOTS MORE HERE.
