Bill - it is not meant to be "mean spirited." It is just that so many 
teachers think they could be making a lot more doing something else. Their attitude 
is, because they have those thoughts they should be paid what they really think 
they are worth. But there are no dollars to pay them. So maybe they really 
need to go try and do that something else. There is always exceptions to the 
rules.

There are very few business owners in this town that make what the teachers 
make and we pay a lot more taxes than what the teachers pay. Most of us work a 
hell of a lot more hours than a teacher works. So - like I said before, they 
elected to be a teacher. They elect to live here. Just like me. Just like you. 
Your choice. My choice. If you want to pay them more you can sign your check 
over to the union and ask that it be distributed amongst the teachers. You 
wanna pay them more? You pay them more.
