Dayton’s millions: The video
3rd August 2010
Power Line is on the case.
After he graduated from Yale, Dayton taught ninth grade general science for two years in a New York City public school. He says it was the toughest job he ever had; he even adds an exclamation point to the statement. I believe him, but the exclamation point is unnecessary. His other jobs have involved appointive or elective office where no heavy lifting is required.
Incidentally, Dayton also says of his teaching experience that “my conscience was seared by the terrible injustice that my students had so little, while I had been given so much; and I decided that I would devote my life to improving social equality and economic opportunity for all Americans.” Not by any creative philanthropy of his own, mind you, but rather by using his inherited millions to run for higher office where he could help take from some and give to others. It’s the Democratic way.
