2 things.
1st- stats show more spending in schools does NOT equal higher scores. That graph has already been posted on another thread. Spending per pupil does nothing for test scores. Only demographics show a correlation.
2nd- Spoken like a true liberal?
You misunderstand a core fundemental difference.
Cutting a rich person's salary by 2% means "We are gonna be able to GIVE you less.
Taxing a rich person's salary by 2% more means "We are gonna be TAKING more from you."
I'm all for a company or government that is paying rich people saying "Sorry man, we can't afford this, you're gonna have to take a small cut."
But I'm not ever for the government automatically assuming they can TAKE more from anyone simply because they overspent.
Giving less vs Taking more. Both end with less total, but are worlds apart in application.
there's nothing to back up any of your assertions.

What assertion do you mean?
assertions. plural. see bolded text.
But presumably those people who make more money, have earned that money and put their time in to achieve the higher salary they are earning. No? Why are you ok with penalizing them for working harder then everyone else?
He figures these employees are democrats so taxing the richest of the democratic employees is fair.

Oh, so just because someone is rich doesn't automatically mean they work harder then everyone else? Richer doesn't = contributes more?

I admire your liberal stance on this issue that rich people are better capable of taking less pay than poor people are. There is hope for you yet
Cutting salary or raising taxes has the same result when you look at how much money is left in your pocket

of course not. what an ignorant thing to believe.

You still wanna bring this up? If you do, fine, but I'll tell you where it's going. Race and poverty affect education rankins dramatically. You ready to dig into that issue?
So does how much States want to invest in educating their children
more fail
you're on a roll
What did I say that was wrong? I'm asking bucs about his thoughts.
Yeah, if a company or gov't decides it needs to pay it's wealthiest employees a bit less, I'm fine with that.
But there is a huge difference between "We're giving you a bit less" and "We're gonna be taking a bit more from you". Same end result, huge difference.

Well I actually completely agree with you. Just making a point that just because you are rich doesn't mean you work harder then those who are poor. It's a ridiculous statement I commonly hear on this site.

Actually, no there isn't. But thanks for making the case for why the rich should be contributing more to society then the poor. Well done.

Yes. There is. Here is how.....
A man walks into a charity food bank, and the bank tells him "Sorry, we dont' have much, we are gonna have to give you a bit less this time."
That man then comes back with a gun, and says "Sorry, I'm gonna be taking more than what you were giving before."
See the difference? If not, you have issues.

In non-union SC, this is how they decided to do it, and they just did it. Right to work state. Gotta love it.

LOL, thanks for the analogy. I love how you equate charity to a salary and the use of a gun to taxes. A bit over the top perhaps?
They didn't volunteer to have their salaries cut, the school board decreed it...and none of those top 41 jobs would be members of a union.2 things.

WRONG.
Cutting salary is a voluntary act. You keep showing up for that job, so you voluntarily accepted it.
Being taxed is not voluntary. It is done by threat of violence against those who do not comply.
I am, however, ok with freedom of choices. And if the business or gov't take that route of cutting those salaries a bit, then so be it. A world of difference from deciding to use their monopoly on force to make people forfeit more of their money.
Oh, and btw, you're wrong on the money = better education idea: Does Spending More on Education Improve Academic Achievement? | The Heritage Foundation
Seems like the last thing South Carolina should be cutting is education.
Unless of course they're looking to remain ignorant.

perhaps it's because you're having trouble grasping the concept?
it's tough on the left side of the bell curve, i'd bet.
