This is a thing of beauty

This well-snarked diary flips the idea of what would happen if we subverted the ruckus over the Teacher's Union and No Child Left Behind and applied those same standards to bankers, specifically bank tellers.
There's a Libertarian in the comments section who says his job is MUCH more difficult than a teacher's (who are somehow overpaid. *Groan*). A commenter named "chipmo" WINS the thread for this well put response to that nonsense:
"If your job is to sell libertarianism as a viable and well thought out philosophy, then yes, your job is incredibly difficult. In fact, I would say it is impossible."
That line is SO stolen.
