You yourself have favored the sentiment...
...that teachers should be a private enterprise. That puts you in the class of those who want to fire them.
And I put myself in the class of people who want taxes to be as low as possible. Not you?
The "poor man" also said about teachers: "But if you choose a low paying occupation, please don’t whine when the market suddenly doesn’t change to make you filthy rich just because you followed your dream." Which is pretty much the same as what you guys were saying about the (not even publicly employed) "burger flippers" the other day.
