> Where are teachers making 100k? My cousin teaches in NYS and she started off with 32K with her MASTERS. Teachers are one of the least payed jobs IMO.

This I have to disagree with you on. Teacher’s start, depending on the school district, between $32-40,000 per year. However, lets remember that this is for less than 200 days of work. Most teacher’s retire making in the neighborhood of $75,000+ and have pensions valued at $60,000 or more, which is another reason why the state is going bankrupt.

The public sector absolutely should have caps on salaries. If the POTUS is making $450,000/year a school superintendent should not be making $150,000. They also need to do away with double dipping, where a principal retires from his job and starts collecting his pension with District A only to go get a job with District B making another $100K on top of his $125K pension.
