Comparing Gov. Chris Christie to Pol Pot for trying to balance the budget isn’t nearly as bad as… calling someone a socialist for spending trillions of dollars that no one can pay back, right?

christie is the least intelligent person to ever be elected governor of a state.
Its bad.
I don’t agree with comparing any American leader with a murderous dictator, but let’s face it…Chris Christie’s whole “lets cut the public education budget in order to give people who make over $400k/year a tax break” idea is extremely f*cked. It’s not going to do any good.
People who make 400k/year don’t need a tax break. It’s the middle class who pay the highest property taxes in the nation and struggle to stay in NJ that need the tax break.
Christie’s going to be a one term governor, you can count on it.
Liberals operate on all emotion – they do not think logically.
LOL Right! Heeee
Parents! Take heed. These creatures are the ones teaching YOUR children.
EDIT/ADD: You HAVE to wonder why, when these Lib teachers voted for Obama who insists on wealth redistribution, are SO angry they might have to participate.
Sounds like more of ‘do as I say, not as I do’.
Christie is cutting education funding, but paying more of his administration 6 figures than Corzine did. Nice!!
Governor Christie is trying his best to break the spine of an overbearing, greedy union.
I commend him and back him every inch of the way.
I’m voting down my school budget this afternoon.
Those teachers (who incidentally cannot spell or put together a proper sentence) are behaving like the spoiled children they teach. They are a disgrace to the teaching profession, the American public and the state of New Jersey.
As for the comparison, I don’t quite get what you are asking.
The teachers are likening him to Pol Pot because he is slashing and burning-taking away all of their tax payer provided comforts.
I pay 64% of my tax bill to support a school system, while making 1/4 of what I do-I have to pay all of my own retirement fund and for my own benefits. It’s time they started to also.
i have a question for you… if teachers’ pay is cut, who is going to buy the textbooks, computers, and other classroom supplies for the students?
(we won’t even get into the whole student-loan debt thing or how much it costs teachers to continue their educations IN PERPETUITY by taking the MANDATORY 12 credit-hours of college courses EVERY summer as REQUIRED by most of those school boards just so they can keep their jobs…)
God knows the school districts’ administrations haven’t been stepping up to the plate. they are too busy hiring their general contractor brothers-in-law to build $60 Million dollar stadiums with digital scoreboards and reserved skyboxes to support their football teams to be bothered with actually spending money to educate children.
the author of that quote uses a correct analogy. pol pot’s FIRST targets were the “intellectuals”… namely, teachers. the only difference between pol pot and KingKrisKristy is what our legal system will allow him to actually get away with.
New Jersey’s state’s teachers are irate over his calls for salary freezes and funding cuts for schools.
Increasing teacher compensation has not improved the academic achievements of the students anywhere in the country. And the progressive tax rates attached to property values in many areas has created nonsensical school budgets and isn’t really fair. Pay for performance would solve the problem. Bravo to Gov. Christie for stepping up. He said he would and so far he has.
The teachers of many states have taken the unfortunately-necessary pay freezes and cuts, and even layoffs, with relative grace. The teacher’s union is, has been, and probably always will be a bully. The teacher’s unions are becoming a dirty word. Their tactics are dishonest and full of “what’s in it for me” instead of, “How can we help the students”. I mean, teaching jobs are hard… I was once a teacher myself. But then again, I got paid vacation during Christmas, Easter, and three months of summer.
I saw a show on TV where a teacher was able to buy a vacation home in Italy for the summer.
So, I wonder who will stand up to the teacher’s unions besides Chris Christie and cut to the chase about teacher’s unions!!!!
