Young Americans are dumbs

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Torie, I realize that you live in a sheltered bubble but this thread is a non sequitur that bears little relation to the article in question. I have no idea how you arrived at the conclusion that "teachers unions are bad" because you read an article about income inequality. The article itself claims that the decline of the middle class is due to the decline of labor unions...

This is not to say that this New York Times article has much merit. After-tax income is a terrible measure of affluence. Americans above the 30th percentile might have more money than Europeans but it is squandered on expensive out of pocket healthcare costs and higher education.

With the astonishing amount of money squandered by the government education industry complex, such figures are truly amazing.

Even more amazing data is the massive amounts of windfall profits reaped by those teachers despite stagnant student enrollment. They are winning the treasury.

What is your solution krazen?
