Where in his postings did he actually "complain"? What he DID post was a description of his daily routine as a teacher. Since when is that the same as a complaint? Instead, as doing so, he was inviting us readers to compare our daily work-related routine with his and draw our own conclusions.Quote:

Guy, I also have a job where I work for way less than other people with a JD because I like my job but I also don't cry about my decisions because the larger working world doesn't think I deserve more money.Quote:

Let a pro sports team or major corporation (i.e something likely run by an old white guy who probably leans Right) try to get similar tax breaks and the Left goes nuts because they’re not paying their fair share.Quote:

Nothing illegal about that! I’m guessing Madonna, Springsteen, Rosie O’Donnell, etc. have an army of CPAs and tax attorneys making sure they pay the least amount possible.
There is a slight difference between CEOs and celebrities in that once an athlete can’t perform, or a movie star’s films stop being blockbusters, they do lose most of their future earnings potential. The celebrities will have residuals coming in for years. How many CEOs of failing companies walk away with an insane golden parachute and end up leading another company in a year or two? It’s harder to see the value a CEO brings to a company, where as it’s pretty easy to see the value of the celebrity. People are paying to see them. When a film flops, it doesn’t impact as many people as when a CEO screws up and negatively impacts a Fortune 500 company, so the stakes are much higher and the pressure much greater for the CEO.

Not crying, Guy. I've worked as a teacher for 24 years. I like what I do and am pretty passionate about it. I was just stating facts, guy, against the assumptions made about teachers' salaries and how easily they increase. I've stayed in the private sector hoping that, by working for a Catholic school, it might balance out all the bad crap I do and get me a chance to enter the pearly gates. I'm glad you have a job you like...guy. My offer still stands.Quote:
