Teachers are not responsible for taxation or the enforcement of taxation no matter how you spin it.
Quote:No, we all share federal debt. A conservative estimate is that each newborn in USA has $50,000 of debt.Apologies, I misread your post/missed your point. Yes, one can calculate government spending as a 'per capita' Federal Debt average but that's not a statement of causation or accountability for the debt. The majority of it can be traced back to poor government investment, poor Banking practices and Corporation Tax avoidance. As a result of bad decision-making, Bank bailouts and tax-loopholes, the government has off-set much of the debt against the tax-payer thus causing a large number of spending cuts, including teacher's salaries. Teachers are as much victims of poor fiscal management as any other tax-payer.
There are better analogies you could have chosen to make your point.
Sum ergo sum
