The following article provides a good clue as to who wins under Obama’s education plan.
NEA President to recommend Obama
QUOTE
Obama's education plan calls for: (1) full funding for educational programs from birth to 5 years old; (2) increasing the number of teachers through scholarships and incentive grants for taking challenging assignments; (3) prioritizing math and science education; and (4) focusing on parental responsibility in education.
Now why would the president of the NEA’s 3.2 million member organization support Obama when the federal government has no authority to tax for, finance, or meddle in the public school systems established under state constitutions? Because Obama promises to expand the federal Department of Education even though hard working families living in Harlem will be taxed to finance Obama’s proposed expansion.
The irrefutable fact is Obama’s education plan requires the misappropriation of federal revenue for a function not authorized by our federal Constitution!
Let us look at the facts.
The People of Maryland delegated the power for a state funded and regulated educational system to their state elected officials, and not to the Congress of the United States sitting in Washington --- the wording being as follows:
QUOTE
“The General Assembly, at its First Session after the adoption of this Constitution, shall by Law establish throughout the State a thorough and efficient System of Free Public Schools; and shall provide by taxation, or otherwise, for their maintenance.”
The Maryland Constitutional also states, in emphatic terms:
QUOTE
“the People of this State have the sole and exclusive right of regulating the internal government and police thereof, as a free, sovereign and independent State.”
Under Art. 3 of Maryland’s Constitution, the command is for local regulation and funding of education as opposed to a federally funded and regulated public school system.
The Maryland Constitution also states:
QUOTE
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution thereof, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people thereof.”
This very provision of Maryland’s Declaration of Rights is also agreed to by the People of the United States by their ratification of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States!
So why do we have a federal Department of Education which Obama wants to expand, when it is not authorized by our written Constitution? Because our federal government personifies a living creature, a predator: it grows, it multiplies, it protects itself, and feeds on those it can defeat, and does everything to expand and flourish, even at the expense of creating federal tax slaves living in Harlem, who will have their paychecks confiscated by Obama to finance the personal economic needs of his 5000 foot soldier army employed at the federal Department of Education! Keep in mind this foot soldier army is out there as we speak working to get Obama elected!

And Then see: Virginia teacher's group turns red over call to wear blue
And how will Obama’s foot soldier army do financially at the federal Department of Education?
FEDERAL EMPLOYEE OVERVIEW
QUOTE
Are you considering a government job? The federal government employs more than 2,700,000 workers and hires hundreds of thousands each year to replace civil service workers that transfer to other federal government jobs, retire, or leave for other reasons. Average annual salary for full-time federal government jobs exceeds $67,000. The U.S. Government is the largest employer in the United States, hiring about 2.0 percent of the nation's work force. Federal government jobs can be found in every state and large metropolitan area, including overseas in over 200 countries. The average annual federal workers compensation, pay plus benefits, is $106,871 compared to just $53,288 for the private sector according to the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Now wait a second, a hard working family’s average annual wage amounts to about 53 K? Why are they earning less than those they employee?
In addition, here are other federal employee ``benefits`` which a hard working father living in Harlem will be gouged to finance under Obama‘s plan:
Life insurance plan___ our father in Harlem gets to pay 1/3 of a government workers federal life insurance plan.
Federal Employees Dental & Vision Program is a full coverage plan and federal employees get to use pre-tax dollars to pay for their vision and dental premiums while our family in Harlem is forced to use after taxed dollars to fund their Dental & Vision plan.
Under the federal employee retirement system, there is a tax-deferred savings plan known as the ``Thrift Savings Plan``. Under this plan, federal workers may contribute up to 10% of their salaries to the plan, with our hard working father living in Harlem being taxed to match up to 5% of a federal employee’s contribution.
Also, under the Civilian Service Retirement System a federal employee contributes 7% of their paycheck to retirement while our family living in Harlem is forced to match that 7 % out of their paychecks.
And, with reference to health insurance, which is in addition to the above mentioned dental and vision plan, see Federal Employees to See Moderate Rise in Health Insurance Premiums
QUOTE
Health insurance premiums for federal employees and retirees will increase by an average of 2.1 percent next year, the Office of Personnel Management announced this afternoon.
Cut------
The federal program will offer 283 plans next year and will provide insurance coverage to about 8 million Americans: civil service and postal workers, retirees, and family members. The government picks up about 70 percent of premium costs in its role as employer.

What the writer meant to say is, our hard working family living in Harlem who can barely meet their own health care needs, will get to pick up about 70 percent of the premium costs to provide health care to Obama’s foot soldier army at the federal Department of Education if he gets elected.
The bottom line is, the Washington Establishment and its political plum job empire will win under the Obama plan, and our hard working father living in Harlem will be enslaved to pay the bills.
JWK
If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon a federal government check, we can then buy their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s working population enslaved to pay the bills ____ Obama’s game plan, a plan to establish a federal plantation on American soil.
