too much from taxpayers

Parasites have a sense of how much they can take from their host without killing it. The leaders of the teacher's union on the other hand ...

The reason we are having so much trouble funding education is simply that it is a socialist program with no cost-containing competition. In an age when information on anything and everything is free and readily available, we are paying inordinate amounts for simple primary education. The reason for this being that unscrupulous groups in Albany latched onto the school system as a great place to ply their wares and services (mandates), skim union dues, and in general raid the public purse. And the best part is “it's for the kids.” Brilliant!

The problem now is that the host isn't doing too well and the parasite refuses to curb its voracious appetite. The disregard that is being shown by the Albany millionaires clubs toward the lowly taxpayer is beyond callous. It's stupid. Even an intestinal malady knows enough to back off when its source of sustenance is faltering.

Oh well, it's for the KID$ (Kickbacks In Disguise).
