California Teachers Association to move for higher salaries
BREAKING... Through sources we've learned that the California Teachers Association is considering a very major move... The union is considering moving its headquarters - and recommending the relocation of tens of thousands of its members - to another country: Cuba!What initiated this shocking plan is the report "Cuba Raises Salaries of Teachers, Doctors":
Cuba increased the salaries of its teachers, doctors and nurses, highlighting the importance the nation's communist government puts on its health and education sectors.But, as the article goes on to state, everything is paid for, so the $12 a month average income goes a long, long way!
Workers in these fields will receive an average of 40 to 50 additional Cuban pesos a month, or the equivalent of about US$2 (euro1.7). The increase was to take affect July 1.
"It's very modest, and can be improved upon," President Fidel Castro said in a live televised address to announce the news Thursday...
Link via the DUmmies, the first two of whom chime in with, "Cuba becoming more humane and civilized toward its workers while the US does the opposite..." and "The day is soon approaching when Americans get on rafts to flee to Cuba seeking freedom and democracy."

Apparently these people feel that civilzation means a long established dictatorship, whose symbol is a raised fist. Civilization means freedom from aggression; and especially from the aggression from officials whose only attempt at offering an argument for such policies is that anyone who dislikes it is a racist who wants to kill all the blacks.
