Perhaps Rahm should offer them 18%, but leave it under a big upside glass of water on the table.

The fact the the teachers in Chicago currently on strike are pulling in $70.000 + a year and are demanding more is almost laughable if it weren’t for the fact that so man others are taking subsistence jobs or dropping out of the workforce completely.

...clowns on parade.
