political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

You're an idiot. These are people just like you and me. They don't deserve crazy high wages but neither do they deserve this! It sucks that these cities are having to resort to this, but remember who is to blame - the cabal and their banksters.

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address

Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests:

"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein

It never even happened, media picked it up and the mayor retracted the idea before the next pay day.

Snip: SCRANTON — Scranton’s mayor announced Wednesday that all city workers will receive full pay when they get their paychecks on Friday.

In a move that received national attention, the mayor cut employees’ pay back to minimum wage for fear there wasn’t enough money to pay them.

Scranton’s business administrator said the city has just enough in its bank account to pay employees this week, and the little bit left over will go towards some of the city’s outstanding bills, but this week’s paychecks won’t include back pay owed to city employees, and city leaders said there’s no guarantee they won’t have to slash pay again.

Well, as the comedian Pete Barbutti used to say, Scranton is where old elephants go to die.

Summary for people who don't know: during construction in the '50s or '60s they dug up these huge bones. They thought they found some old dinosaur. Paleontologists were brought in.

Then some old timer remembered and pointed to old news stories. Seems that back around 1910 or 1920 the circus came to Scranton. During its time there one of the elephants died. They didn't know what to do with the body, so they stuck it in one of the old coal mines around town and sealed it off. And everyone forgot about it until it was "discovered" 40 or 50 years later.

Piss off! The starting annual salary for a teacher here in WV is 23k. I quit the BOE after 7 years teaching with a salary of 26 k--and that's with a fucking master degree. Now I own my own biz and things are much better. But you don't know what teachers have to put up with for that shitty salary. Think about it--could you thrive on 26k per Annum?

NO not caos. i'm just stating facts. look at greece. u see who is rebelling?? who is burning cars in the streets??? who is protesting??? THE UPPER-CLASS UNIONIZED workers who think they own the leaders. we have 50% of the country working to pay 50% who are either welfare,disabled, or government big-check workers. do u really think what i make a yr is equal to half a government employees paycheck???
it is simple math. we r going broke,the cost of goods is going high,and the working-class is gettin poorer. u gripe that the cops,fire dept,etc deserves high wages. then u tell me how the hell can we afford it?????????

i agree with u to a point. i bet your country outrates us in education, protection, etc. i have heard of countries where the % of taxes was extremely higher than the USA. however ,they DID NOT have the level of corruption and greed. they had servicesmore than us also.their prices were not out of control either. so yes if things worked the right way AND it is sustainable,and the $$ isn't feeding top officials pockets or union exec's pockets,then mayb it wouldb different.
