They'll Do It Until It Costs Them Power. And It Won't Cost Them Power

You are being ripped off and you don't seem angry enough. This happened in Illinois, but it's happening everywhere: The lobbyist of the teachers' union got himself a lifetime, massive teachers' pension based on one day of substitute teaching. He had never taught another day, ever; the one day made him eligible to count all the years he lobbied for the union as time served teaching. And then his kids got "legislative scholarships," tuition waivers to Illinois State U. Who paid for all that? Taxpayers did. And they keep re-electing the legislators responsible for it. Forget occupying Wall Street; why aren't taxpayers occupying their state houses? (Chicago Tribune)
