A society in which CEOs of companies that actively harm health & well-being of people & planet earn hundreds of millions of $ a year while there are elementary school teachers who need to take second jobs in order to survive, is one beset by an extraordinary perversion of values

As a politician, how will you make this change? Passing laws to outlaw making money? Teachers and school employees are state employees already. Parents blame teachers for their children’s failures. What is your plan for this change in respect?

Making money is a good thing. The problem is that too many people have a hard time being able to. And yes, that disparity is a direct result of economic policies such as stock options and buybacks, lack of health insurance, college loan debt etc

I wholeheartedly agree!!! Please don't forget school counselors and school social workers. We are a vital part of educating children and providing mental health and we too have to take second jobs. Thank you!

Exactly.

That's the value system of capitalism & the American Dream. We are taught that the pursuit of wealth is good. Along with that idea, it becomes okay to have more than others. In fact, we worship those who succeed as intelligent such as @BillGates. This cultural training must end.
