It is disgusting how Democrats, liberals and union leaders all use the “It’s for the children” line when they are trying to extort more money for schools. It is really just more money for teachers’ salaries and benefits. Then the unions gets their cut through higher dues and then they spread that wealth around by lining politicians’ pockets.

It is a vicious cycle of deceit, lies and greed to make taxpayers believe the children’s education is suffering and only more money will fix it.

Every time I hear some politician or union thug using my child as an excuse to line their pockets, it makes me very angry. So, the next time those liberals try to extort more money “for the children,” I want to see factual documentation about exactly what the money will be used for.

I don’t expect to like what I am going to hear or see.
