These folks just want teachers to give back, because they believe that $50,000 a year in salary plus medical and dental benefits are incredibly generous — bordering on avarice! And I imagine these same people will feel the same way about couples earning more than $250,000 a year being asked to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire so that they would have to pay a slightly higher federal income tax rate.
— JON STEWART, calling out the hypocrisy of Fox “News” pundits and Republicans in general claiming that teachers have generous salaries and benefits averaging about $89,000 a year — while at the same time decrying the elimination of the Bush tax cuts for those making $250K a year because $250K a year “is not rich” and “is close to poverty” — on The Daily Show.
