No offense to the teachers, they have a hard enough job which society at large also doesn't support, but are I can't remember the last time a teacher was ever issued a firearm and a bullet proof vest and told to go make the streets safe for us. You would have to be a complete fool to subscribe to the notion that teachers are on the same risk level in the same manner in which police are. They do not work shifts, they do not exercise the same authority as we do and are not held to the standard that we are. With the exception of Fire and Emergency Medical Personnel, no one is. Shared sacrifice? Why should we, who have paid into our pensions, and sacrificed far more than you will ever have to, share in the debacle which is the New Jersey financial mess. I don't see you writing about how then Gov. Whiteman STOLE money from our pension fund to cover the financial mess NJ was in at the time. Could this be because you were running for office at the time? No, it's probably more along the lines of you being just another person who doesn't get it. You live in a convenient glass bubble of freedom which far better persons than yourself have provided and you think it appropriate to belittle the efforts of some of the best people society has to offer because you think that their courage can be somehow illustrated by some chart to then be equated to some dollar value. You are a fool Mr. Murray. Don't embarrass yourself with this nonsense.
