Divide and Conquer

I had a nightmare last night. Yesterday, during a conversation with a local professional, it was stated that the average salary for teachers in Wisconsin is $90,000. We agreed that $90,000 for a teacher is a lot of money. When in reality, teachers should probably make a heck of a lot more.

The very rich conservatives (Republicans) have convinced us that people who make $90,000 should be willing to sacrifice their earnings to balance troubled State budgets. This is very calculated and effective demogouery that is intended to convince us that teachers are the "haves" and we are the the "have-nots"; because, I don’t make anything near that amount.

Bottomline, the Republicans are causing us to fight among ourselves, while diverting attention away from the many who make millions and billions in this country. There is truly class warfare being fought in this country. Let’s be on the right side. Don’t let them divide us.

You are right on target my friend. This is what happens 99% of the time they (Republicans) will try to make themselves look good by saying one thing and doing another.
