What kind of sacrifices have CEA bosses asked the best-paid teachers and staff to make? Have union “leaders” led by example? Since the CEA marches to the OEA’s drum, we can make an educated guess…

Soak the Rich: IBM
If there’s one thing Sherrod Brown is good at (note: Sherrod Brown is awesome at all sorts of things), it’s taxing the wealthy… so higher market capitalization means increased taxes plus a good tongue-lashing to boot!
WordPress for Non-Techies
This post is intended as a reference for WordPress beginners, with instructions and screenshots from the self-hosted version of WordPress 3.1.2. Amid thousands of “WordPress for Newbies” posts and videos out there, I can’t find anything that really fits the bill. One more version shouldn’t hurt!
Soak the Rich: Week 2 Progress
As an avid fan of Senator Sherrod Brown’s practiced class warfare routine, I was disappointed to learn that one week of soaking the biggest corporations in the S&P 500 index wasn’t enough to fill the U.S. government’s $1.62 trillion budget deficit. Mercifully, there are no shortage of bad, successful corporations left to penalize!
Columbus Begs for Bargaining Reform
Columbus City Schools would save $13.1 million with the sacrifices Superintendent Harris is suggesting. What if desperate times could be answered by the desperate measure of reducing tenured teachers’ pay?
Soak the Rich: Chevron
A capitalist would ask whether raising Chevron’s taxes will, in turn, increase the price of oil & natural gas – and by extension, everything connected to energy & transportation. Stupid capitalist!
OEA Squeezes Ohio Teachers a Little Harder
The OEA’s entire sales pitch is underfunded children and impoverished educators, for Pete’s sake! It’s like paying a chauffeur $96,000 a year to complain about your car loan.
Soak the Rich: General Electric

Soak the Rich: Week 1 Progress
This week we soaked Apple and Exxon Mobil, currently the two largest corporations in the S&P 500 by market capitalization. By doubling each company’s corporate income tax burden and taking 100% of CEO compensation, we’ve taken great strides toward funding the programs Sherrod Brown and Barack Obama know we need!
Hilliard Begs for Bargaining Reform
To be sure, a 10% pay cut is drastic, but it’s for the children. If the affected employees care more about their pay than about the students whose academic and extracurricular programs the district is willing to cut, they’re welcome to look elsewhere for jobs paying $67,500 – $90,000 with lengthy summer and winter vacations.
