What gets me is that these teachers, most who probably voted for Obama don't want to
Share the wealth,
Obama
Or,
Tighten their belts,
Obama,
While I will have to pay or get fined by IRS

You should have health care insurance or access to REAL medical care, you are a human being and we are the richest nation on this Earth.
You seem to think the way to solve the problem of health care is to make it a luxurious item.
We had the option to make a public option here - Obama did what he did to appease you and other conservatives who fear socialistic solutions, you watched it happen.
(CNN) -- This week's bitter budget showdown in Wisconsin isn't the first time state legislators have fled a state, left a building or refused to show when votes were called.
The "Killer Ds" and the "Texas 11," for example, skedaddled from Texas in 2003 to prevent consideration of a redistricting bill.
In 1839, a young Abraham Lincoln, serving as a Whig in the Illinois House, jumped out of the building in a futile bid to prevent Democrats from getting a quorum to vote on a banks bill.
Members of the 1891 Florida Senate went to Georgia in a bid to prevent a quorum for the election of a U.S. senator.
And in 1994, Republican members of the California Assembly refused to show up for floor sessions in an effort to prevent Democrats from electing Willie Brown as speaker with less than a majority vote.
