Today in the North County Times we find yet another CON man out to deceive North County Times readers with the great misdirection con game that con men of every stripe are so famous for. Tell the truth about small unimportant item and hide the greater truth.
Go to a used car dealer and he will point out the beautiful and clean engine in the car without ever telling you that he had the engine steamed cleaned so the oil leaks would not show.
Go to a real estate broker and he will show you a beautiful home without telling you that it is in a slide zone.
Go to the North County Times and their CON men hacks give you 'real' but meaningless statistics that seem to show that unions are always bad. Today Arnold took his lying turn as a con man hack.
Read the deception of Arnold here:

Thomas K. Arnold calls California teachers among the highest paid in the nation. What a con.
Like all good con men Arnold has perfected the misdirection lie.
The real question for any worker is not how much the salary is but how much does the salary buy? Will it cover the cost of housing, medical, and food where the person (teacher) lives? So what does a California teacher salary buy in California? The answer is not much.
Arnold knows that of course but real statistics would inconvenience the CON game he is playing on the readers of the North County Times.
Teacher salaries in California are ranked 44th lowest out of the fifty states when it comes to buying power that is salary compared to cost of living. Read more below:

44th out of 50 states."
The poor pay and terrible buying power of the average California teacher is not because we live in a poor state or an overly generous state to public schools. Forty five states spend more per person than California does on its schools. Read more below:
"California, the eighth richest state, spends 3.8 percent of per capita income on education, making it the 46th ..."

The above facts do not fit into the CON universe of deception created by the CON men like Arnold. They would rather play inside their own deceptaCON universe where they pretend without truth or facts that public school teachers, fact based public schools, unions of all kinds and the middle class that unions create are all evils that need to be crushed beneath the boot hill of billionaire bullies and their hired gun hacks.
The only question is why does the editorial staff of the North County Times continue to go along with this CON? I have no answer to that question but I do know that I do not have to support their attacks on unions and the middle class that was created by unions.
I have not bought a North County Times newspaper in over ten years. Until they change their editorial stance against unions, I will not buy another one of their papers again. I will read only on line for free without subsidizing their unfair attacks on the middle class.
