A great retort on a ridiculous video.

The following should be self-explanatory.  If what is being refuted is the best the California Teachers Union can do, then California, and indeed, all of public education is in even worse shape than I thought.   Hardly a sentence passes through narrator Ed Asner's lips without there being some kind of childish, sensationalist distortion, an unfounded smear or an outright lie.   The original states and crudely illustrates that "money towers", created by the rich, fell and destroyed people's homes.   Every time I get angry at the right for some misguided idiocy, the left pulls something like this and screeches ahead in the race to see which side is more stupid.    Thank you to Lee Doren for this critique. 

As a side note, I don't think Ed Asner has turned down many paychecks.  Asner also voiced a lead character in the Disney/Pixar film "Up", which went on to gross over $730,000,000 worldwide at the box office and another $182,000,000 in DVD sales domestically.  Of course Disney is a mega-corporation, and Pixar was founded by, among others,  the late technology tycoon Steve Jobs who was majority share holder.    In other words, without these rich individuals and companies, Mr. Asner would have been denied one of his most memorable (and profitable) roles.
