Concerned citizens from all walks of life came hell or high water to Taxday Tea Parties on April 15, 2009. The overriding theme was to cut government spending and in turn reduce the size of government.  This not only is applicable to the Federal Bureaucracy, but the state and local levels as well. The voters in all 50 states must be vigilant, they must tell the spendthrift politicians that enough is enough. Vote them out, Vote them out, Vote them out.  At the local level, education costs account for 80% of the budget. New teaching environs must be adapted, such as internet studies, webcasts,classes via VIDEO CONFERENCE and so forth.  One teacher can teach 500 students utilizing only monitors at 1/3 the teachers pay . This will reduce budgets significantly and put teachers on notice that their game is over. 

Each and everyone of you must be involved. The AFSCME, ( http://www.afscme.org/  GO TO THEIR WEB SITE AND YOU WILL PUKE)  is the most powerful teachers union, they are the most ardent supporters of politicians who advance their cause. Barack Obama is their Messiah. Find out about their socialist and monopolistic ways. They are against CHARTER SCHOOLS. THEY ARE AGAINST COMPETITION, THEY ARE FOR MONOPOLY. They survive by the ARBITRATION BOARD, which arbitrates disputes in union contracts and recommends union pay scales if a particular municipality can't come to an agreement. The TYPICAL STATE ARBITRATION BOARD IS MADE UP OF UNION  AND TEACHER REPRESENTATIVES. Because of this, MEMBERS OF THE TEACHERS UNION SEE THEIR wages increase year after year no matter what the financial condition or the ability to pay of the taxpayers in their respective municipalities.  IT IS UP TO YOU TO FIND OUR HOW THIS BOARD CAN BE REPLACED BY THE TAXPAYER, NOT BY THE TAXEATER. 

According to one study, public employees earned benefits worth an average of $13.38 an hour in December 2008, while private-sector workers got benefits worth $7.98 an hour. Overall, total compensation for state and local workers was $39.25 an hour, $11.90 more than in the private sector.

Democrats will argue this calls for more mandates from the government to increase the minimum wage. What it actually means is that government workers, who are paid by the taxpayers, are vastly overpaid, and with their benefits and their pensions, are risking the financial health of this country

.SEE YOU AT THE NEXT TEA PARTY.
