Wall St v Teachers

Media_httpjonathancun_edthe

Not all teachers are great, not all Wall St bankers are scum. But if teachers caused a global financial crisis, got bailed out by taxpayers, and still paid themselves massive salaries, you would have a national massacre.

Why bankers elude the stigma of greed and overcompensation, yet teachers take it on the chin, baffles me.

The taxpayers, who pay teachers, have decided to pay teachers less than the teachers want.

What does this have to do with what Wall Street bankers make?

Under your logic, if my boss wants to cut my pay, I should argue that he should not because Wall Street bankers are paid too much and receive too many benefits.

Not very well thought through.
