Mortgaging Education

The California Teachers Association is mortgaging their headquarters so that they can spend $54 million on the special election. They will pay for it by increasing union dues by $60 million. These dues are paid by teachers, and ultimately by California taxpayers. But they say that the people of California are too poor to spend $50 million on a special election while their union members are so rich that they can easily afford to pay $60 million for political activism. This is Robin Hood in reverse. Paycheck protection must pass.

Another candidate in the last election was able to get a $6 million mortgage on a house even though he did not report paying one penny of property taxes on his tax return.
