how about some facts...................

I went back to school to get a teaching lisense K-8, self contained
classroom in Oregon. I substute taught for a a year cause the
republicans cut money to the schools. I finaly got a fulltime job
teaching 2nd grade.My first day was August 2001.

My take home after taxes, healthcare ( i paid $500/mo for a ****ty
family of 3 plan , retirement (they paid 1/2), union dues $25
was...............

$1745/mo take home
In my contract I had to work TWO days for free. It was called a
"service day."

After I spent 8 hours in the classroom I spent another 1-2 hours
preparing for the next day. Made for 10 hour days five days a week.
Oh, except on Sunday when I put an additional 2-3 hours in getting
ready for the week.

I lasted two years. Never worked so hard for so little in my life.

Another though............................................ ..
you have blue collar, white collar, and pink collar
jobs.................... The fact still remans that women make $0.72 -
$0.78 to a mans dollar. Why : to quote james Brown. "its a mans
world!"

Free market my ass. Woman could be a nurse , secratary or teacher. So
why do nurses get $25-45/ hr with sign on bonus of $5-10K and teachers
get 30-35K to start? Cause nursing doesnt have a bunch of Republikans
mandating ****ty wages from the state legislature. Nurses work at a
for-proffit business. Teachers have to beg a repubican for money.
Nurses dont. they just go to a better paying hospital. teachers cant
do that when the republicans have created a state wide controlled
industry. Remember.... keep big goventment off our back. well we got
it in Oregon. 10 years ago we had 500 state troopers. We got less than
200 now. that will keep traffic meth off our interstate
freeways....not!

Yep, $1745/month sure is a lot of money for a family of three.
