Why is it that fat cat union bosses always feign moral outrage over someone making a profit? Case in point: Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers union.

If there were more profit motive in education, our kids would be a lot better educated.

@jasonahart so is your position that people like @rweingarten who are at the top of their field shouldn’t be compensated as such?

What field is that exactly? Union bossing?
@suttnutz @jasonahart Dunno what Jason's claiming, but $557K is more than POTUS's salary and more than 2x S. Ct. justice.

@jasonahart @vermontaigne @rweingarten Hey: any "public good" that gets me 500K+ a year is real, real good! So stop complaining already!

@jasonahart @justkarl @rweingarten Crazy thing is liberals don't think a person who built a company deserves their $, yet public servants do

You didn’t build that company.
