(128,949 posts)It's remarkable how hard you are trying to justify your untenable ideology by moving goal posts, deflecting criticism of that rigid ideology, and posting without any practical strategies or solutions. Seems some of the very ones who bemoan class warfare are also the ones who actually engage in it.
Your insistence on comparing campaign bullet points with reality is that you continue to miss the process of how a bill becomes a law and the functioning of a tricameral government. This is very common on DU where OPs lack any sort of civics knowledge in order to actually argue intelligently, and they invalidate all of their own arguments because of this lack of knowledge.
As a FYI, teachers here in Philly (and probably in other places) have had a choice of how they are paid to include a "long summer break". Either they get bigger paychecks during the year and nothing over the summer (where they can work another job at places like rec centers, tutoring, coaching, camp, etc) or they get a lesser paycheck that will remain the same throughout the year, including the summer. Ironic that you would throw teachers under the bus in an attempt to validate your ideology, but this is what happens with those who project ODS.
