Tenure - WHY?

Who has tenure? Mostly union members: tradespersons, teachers, firepersons, police, teachers and professors who are mostly union members. WHY? There is zero reason unless you make up some anti-management reason. If a tradesperson doesn't do a good job, a business or home could burn down. Shouldn't we be able to fire them? What about teachers? Whatever you think, teachers for the most part are not doing a good job in teaching our grades 1 thru 12. At least that is what the world ranking of USA students suggest USA = #17). Our teachers are paid the highest of all countries. WHY?

Then there are the police and firepersons - all public employees. They have unbelievable pensions. WHY?
Because the unions negotiate them with the people we elect. Why should these people have power over my real estate burden??? Over half the states are unable to meet the obligations the unions demand for pensions of police and firepersons. And these states are running budget deficits plus raising sales taxes and state taxes and real estate taxes. WHY???

Least of all are professors. Colleges have been drinking at the public dollar for decades now.
HOW???
Because we have student loans and the colleges know that. So they raise the tuition which suggests that students borrow more.
WHY?
Who says that college is for every one??? If less students apply for colleges, tuition will have to fall. That's competition and it works. That will keep the tuitions lower and then less student loans would need to be made and then college professors would not get any raises or maybe lose their jobs. This brings us to where we started.
Why tenure?
Tenure is a penalty tax on the rest of the USA tax paying community which is only about half of all citizens.
Again why? Cut Federal taxes and replace with a sales tax. Then almost 98% of all the people will be paying taxes.
Tenure? Who needs it? Only the few at the expense of the many. We need to get rid of the concept of tenure. If you are good, no employer would think of firing you. If you are a bad worker/teacher who needs you. They need to find work elsewhere.

And that's the way I see it...
