Dennis Van Roekel, president of the largest teachers union, the National Education Association, failed fifth-grade math last week. The question he failed is: If X (government spending) is growing faster than A (government tax revenue) plus B (new revenue from higher tax rates on ‘the rich'), when will A + B = X? President Obama met with leaders of left-leaning organizations, including Mr. Van Roekel, to discuss the ‘fiscal cliff' last Tuesday (11/13). After the meeting, Mr. Van Roekel appeared on Neil Cavuto's Fox News show to discuss the budget deficit. Mr. Van Roekel told Mr. Cavuto that he had recommended taxing the top 2 percent more to deal with the problem. |
