If you come with arguments, then I will defend my position. However, talking about hypocrisy. Not only have you been doing personal attacks, but you have kept ignoring arguments you don't like.In you last few posts, you spend more time attacking me personally than you do defending your position. How does that give credibility to your position?
They are comparing for factors like the age of the state and unemployment rate. If you are in a state that have a household income of 60K, does your household income change if we make your state older. No? Then he is not comparing workers of like categories.Dr. Lafer and the studies he cites compare workers of like categories in union and non-union states. When they do that, they find that the unionized states worker of similar kind makes $1500 more than the non unionized worker of the same kind.
And before you start crying. I don't understand. Try to think. Ask yourself these questions.
1. Is it possible adjusting for every single factor?
2. Could trying to adjust for every single factor actually make it worse?
3. Why are there so many unrelated factors that shouldn't be adjusted for, such as unemployment and the age of the state.
4. Are all black people the same? Are all Hispanics the same? Why do the study, then assume they are the same?
5. Isn't the results very dependant on what variables you choose to correlate for?
Of course you do. You would call any research that support your view excellent.I call that excellent research.
But if it was so excelent. Why do you keep ignoring the flaws I pointed out in his research. I reapat, and write it bold because this is the 5 time you have ignored it.

Not so easy to ignore when I make it bigger, is it?
Haha, no. The cartoon is childish. Its like you hearing Republicans say dumb ****. It doesn't hurt you. You just weep thinking about how dumb some people are.You obviously do not approve of seeing your own intellectual prejudices exposed and made fun of in this manner. Thats okay. Few do.
The cartoon contains much truth that I have seen displayed over and over and over again through many years by those who bash both public education and the men and women who are professional educators in public education. It is an excellent cartoon and does a fine job at getting the point across.
Of course you think it is excelent. You would call any cartoon who support your view excellent. That is the kind of person you are. But Republicans have never blamed teachers for the economic crisis. Some Republicans may have stated a few of them, but unrelated to the crisis. It is just completely unrelated to the actual arguments, feeding the worst democratic stereotypes. It is actually kind of pathetic that Democrats can't make fun of the actual arguments Republicans are making. It obviously show who has the upper hand.
