On Wednesday, The Daily Caller reported that Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, will receive a whopping salary of $242,613 to teach just one course at University of California, Berkeley this fall despite his lengthy record of criticizing rich people and, of course, espousing "income inequality." The salary totals at $20,217 per month.
A professor of public policy, Reich's history of leftist economic theories goes without saying. Aside from serving under Clinton, Reich also served on the economic advisory board for then-President-elect Barack Obama in 2008 and made numerous appearances on The Colbert Report, where he talked about "America's wealth divide" and the dire need for wealth redistribution.
At the height of the Occupy Movement in 2011, Reich gave an impassioned speech before a crowd in Los Angeles where he stated, "This economy is right now richer than it has ever been. What are we doing? We are cutting education, we are cutting child welfare services...we are saying we don't care about this anymore because 'we can't afford it.' Let me tell you so that you understand, we can afford it." By "afford it," Reich surely meant "afford me."
Posted on Reich's own Facebook page are the words "INEQUALITY FOR ALL," in reference to the 2013 documentary, starring Reich, that examined economic inequality and the failed Occupy movement, a movement he had stated would "never end."
According to The Daily Caller, his salary puts him in the top four percent of Americans, just three percentage points below the dreaded one percent. Reich will teach a regular workload of four courses in the spring.
