[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1192333, member: 42270"] Actually, I put myself through school while slinging boxes at UPS. I have a four year bachelor's degree and wanted to go into education, but this society has done nothing but demonize teachers and public servants for the last decade in the name of austerity. I make more (comparatively) slinging boxes than I would in a classroom in my state. You sound like a bully that loses it when people begin to stand up for themselves. You'd better get used to it; history is cyclical and the average working man and woman is tired of being abused for a paycheck that gets smaller and smaller as the years go on. I never understood why you conservative types got pissy when people organize to improve their lot in life -- you worship the Horatio Alger [B]myth[/B] of pursuing the American Dream by pulling yourself up by your boot straps, so what's the difference if someone does the same thing with a union card in their back pocket?
