Don't have to preach to me, my income is down by half, not 20% but 50%. I am 100% comission sales. My wife works for the County and she had her salary reduced by 20%. Don't let the Teachers snow you, theywork 9 months for 12 months of pay and benifits. The problem is theschools have as many administrator's as teachers, and the money goes to them and not the students. Today, over 40% of Teachers cannot pass a basic math or english compentcy test if it was required. As for the Postal worker, the 'Average" pay per worker is $63K. per year and they are the most overpaid service workers on the planet. Especially considering that the U.S. Postal Service has lost money for 20 straight years. Their business volume is down by 20-30% and not one worker has been furloughed. No Sour Grapes here, just the truth. God knows I do not want to ever be known as a "Survivor" Lead or get out of the way !!
