Good for him. Being jealous of someone else’s success is just weird to me.

Elementary school teachers don't build shite and sell it to the masses. This is by far the dumbest comparison you have to be the biggest moron I've ever seen post here

I don’t care what other people make or what they pay in taxes. I’m concerned with my income and taxes. I’m not envious of others success. Maybe you should try that approach.

It truly is sad to see low IQ people like you sharing their thoughts. And sadly more of your fellow Democrats are even dumber than you.

Teachers may want to learn a job that pays more. Maybe voting for a teachers union that helps them rather then one that collects $50M from their salaries to give to democrat would help them .

Sounds like they should be spending more time trying to learn a few things from Elon and less time trying to LARP their students' wanting to have some free time out of class into a faux grassroots movement to stop deporting illegals.

Yes he makes more than people who are essentially daycare workers teaching kids about drag queens.

In fact, you said you agreed that most all problems in this country are caused by billionaires.


Did I?

Post that please.


So since that request has been met with crickets (except a silent pussy downvote), I assume by now you've gone back and actually read what I originally posted only to realize that you've been making a perfect arse of yourself over something I never even said.

That tracks for such a dumbass as yourself.

What I actually said is that I "largely" agreed with the poster to whom I was replying and that he "had a point." Which is entirely consistent with what I posted that you took issue with.

The larger issue is that you are so dumb that you apparently never realized that my post to him served to trap him in his own rhetoric. To highlight that he's entirely hypocritical in his condemnation of billionaires, as he fully supports the actions of many of them.

It's either that you are too stupid to understand that subtlety (which is entirely believable), or that you are such a dick that you will argue with someone who is agreeing with your overarching point of view just to be an a-hole (also entirely believable).

Either way, I hope you get (severe but non fatal) food poisoning today and it hits while you're stuck in a traffic jam. While wearing your best pair of pants.

Have a nice day!

Currently there is a giant teacher shortage in most states because nobody wants to make a career out of it. Most who do, leave within the first 5 years.


The main reason people quit that profession is because overpaid administrators refuse to punish black kids who consistently disrupt class. Debt relief for teachers won't fix that.

And speaking of schools.


Local governments are raking in big money on their land, buildings and equipment.

You could probably build a school with just a year of property taxes from them.

They can’t from the teacher.

This is the correct answer.

The biggest problem with government funded mass compulsory education isn't even the "government" part, although that's definitely the second biggest problem.

The biggest problem is the "compulsory" part. Forcing people who have absolutely no interest in their children getting an education and who are actually even antagonistic toward the system to send their children to school and mandating that the state provide every child an education.

If they don't want to be there and don't value the opportunity and won't behave in accordance with the expected guidelines for behavior, get them out of the school with the quickness.

It doesn't do any good for them to be there any way. They still don't learn anything, and they keep other kids from learning. With compulsory education in place we currently are moving toward an illiterate society. Over 60% of American adults read at sixth grade level or below. Almost 20% of students who GRADUATE from high school are functionally illiterate.

Change that requirement and watch the system transform overnight.

And Tesla paid $0 in taxes in 2025.
Question for ya. Does Tesla or any business get to vote in the election(s)? If not and they are forced to pay taxes, isn't that taxation without representation? Google says Tesla employees 125K to 135K employees. Taking the middle (130K), those 130K pay an awful lot of taxes combined. Much more than either you or I.

Yeah the majority of our spending goes to transfer payments.

That’s why I don’t cry about spending money on the border. Drop in the bucket to the fraud immigrants perpetrate on those other programs.
