Liberals are \u201cfriends of the little guy\u201d, right? I mean, they\u2019re always speaking out against the rich as being \u201cgreedy, evil bastards\u201d.<\/p>\n
Well, let\u2019s look at one such guy.<\/p>\n
Law Prof Who Specializes in Poverty Makes $205,400 \u2013 Teaching One Class Per Semester<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n A couple of comments. First: the guy consistently blames one political party (I\u2019ll let you guess which) for waging an \u201cunforgivable war on poor people\u201d. But he does this while making more than $200k annually, and owning real estate worth around $1.5M. And while married to a lady who pulls down over $400k annually in salary.\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019d love to know how much he gives to charity annually \u2013 you know, to \u201chelp the poor\u201d.<\/p>\n And second: the guy (and his wife) both \u201cwork\u201d in academia – at state-supported public universities, so tax dollars pay their salaries.\u00a0 But he\u2019s so liberal (and so controversially outspoken in support of liberal causes) that his employer reportedly asks that any op-eds he publishes include the disclaimer that \u201cHe doesn\u2019t speak for (name of university)\u201d.<\/p>\n But the tool above is not alone. After all: who could forget Robert Reich, that \u201cgood\u00a0\u00a0 Marxist<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 liberal\u201d and former Labor Secretary currently teaching one class at UC-Berkeley \u2013 at a salary of about $240k a year<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n The subject of his classes? Income inequality<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n
