Is firing woman who take birth control a perfect example on republicans war against woman?
No one FIRED a woman on birth control. I STILL believe it's not my responsibility to pay for YOUR birth control. AZ is saying that they will only cover MEDICAL reasons why women are on the pill to get reimbursed. They are not asking nor are they requiring anyone to tell if they are on the pill. IF YOU WANT YOUR EMPLOYER TO PAY...you must tell them WHY. If you don't want THEM to pay...no one has to know. **note to liberals...READ carefully. This is NOT what you are saying it is.
Is a public school teacher a government employee?
From what I understand about this deal, is like a local public school teacher is not a government employee. The school districts will get government grants if they are in financial trouble(which almost all of them except like the top schools in the state are) I'm guessing the numbers the media has been throwing out are for government teachers like in the military or something like that. If local teachers are government employees then why the he'll do we pay school taxes?
Which Koch brother is the husband of Dorothy Bush, sister of George W. Bush?
Her husband is named Koch but NOT one of THOSE Koch brothers. Really very very easy to find on Google
What percentage of Union school teachers are Democrats and Socialists?
What percentage of cons come on here and lie? You for example. Union dues are 100% used for negotiations, handling claims, etc. They are NOT used for political causes. Any political activities are funded separately by DONATIONS, freely given by unions members. Teachers average 50K a year and I don't know any backhoe operator who earns 100K, unless they are paid for overtime, which is NOT their fault, but the fault of cons who won't hire an adequate number of employees under the guise of saving money. State employees, including those in Wisconsin, on average earn less than the private sector. By the way, another lie, trying to equate democrat with socialist. If union members are either, it's because they care about workers and cons and republicans want them to be wage slaves living in company towns (only the town in this case is the US). Next time, get your facts straight. And why does it not bother you that a handful of rich people own most of the republicans and control everything they do, starting with Scott walker. Do you think we should underpay people teaching our children? How about fire fighters and police, want to underpay them as well? Then good luck next time you need them. And don't whine when you have to stand in a long line at the DMV either. Edit: The Wall Street Journal, owned by known liar and conservative Murdoch is NOT a reliable source, especially on an issue like this. That's up there with quoting Faux News. You are also quoting an opinion piece, not a news story. Until Walker came in, Wisconsin had one of the top rated educational system in the country. The failing of our education system is NOT due to unions and unionized teachers, it's due to the failure to fund education, starting with Reagan and with every republican led government since. THe cons/rich guys want to keep people stupid so they won't know they are being ripped off by the corporatocracy. You really uninformed if you think the corporations are about fair and competitive markets, especially in the job market. Take away unions and collective bargaining and they have all the power and can freely abuse their employees. That's why unions came to be in the first place. Corporations reward failure (giving bonuses to companies that do poorly and face bankruptcy) and ignore hard work.
Why are teachers and their unions well respected in Germany and Japan, but not America?
Japanese teachers teach half as many hours and are given lots of time to prepare and polish their lessons. In Japanese schools, you normally have two teachers in the classroom. In Sweden, teachers are more highly respected than Lawyers. Teachers in Germany get tax breaks for being willing to teach in poorer neighborhoods. In Finland, most classrooms have three Credentialed Teachers in any given room. In America, public school teachers are considered to be lazy, worthless, scum, who need to be destroyed so they won't destroy the country. Why is that?
Why does Steve Bannon still defend Trump against the Koch brothers despite being fired and name called?
I’m not sure how much of this applies to Bannon… but I’m sure someone will enlighten me. Some data indicates he’s worth $48 million.When appointed to a White House Position, one must ‘sever’ (sell out) those businesses and stock holdings in private concerns. SINCE this is a requirement, then the benefit is NO CAPITAL GAINS TAX, nothing.Therefore, simply being a temporary employee, MUCH can be gained if sitting on a pile of investments. It could be that perk was the target for Bannon, and his departure was in the cards all along.Bannon’s a very sharp guy. Trump and he would be very dumb to actually burn bridges between themselves. But for public consumption, burn away!
What would a modern Founding Father look like today?
A modern Founding Father would be one of the Koch Brothers, for example.He’s a white man who is really, really rich. When he’s not overseeing his commercial empire, he’s more than dabbling in politics, although he doesn’t run for office. He believes that holding office would be beneath him, and it would also limit the extent of his influence. He believes that the world is better off with him influencing politics, and influencing it behind the scenes in a way that gives him the widest and deepest reach into the affairs of the country. He believes that the world needs him. These days, the modern Founding Father would not own slaves— that’s illegal. But he and his businesses employ many people, and while he may talk about making American and the world a better, more prosperous place, he does not pay his employees one red cent more than the law requires, he does not pay the least attention to the pressures and injustices that confront his employees, and he doesn’t hesitate to fire them when that seems best for his bottom line. The modern Founding Father is intent on using government to extract wealth from the people and resources of the country because he believes both that his station in life entitles him to it, and that having control of that wealth and resources enables him to make things better for everybody. He has no particular ideologies, religious or political, but any time the need arises, he will espouse the ideas of civil rights and liberties, free markets, and limited government. But he truly believes in none of this; rather, he uses it to rally people to his side. He views others like him as rivals, or perhaps enemies, and everyone else as useful idiots, to be used while they can be, and tossed aside thereafter.Simply put, a modern Founding Father would look pretty much like an original Founding Father, for many of the same reasons.
