Ahhhhh, now you are pushing the Socialist viewpoint where all of us are supposed to be equal in every way including monetary values. For over 200 years the Capitalist system has worked quite well for people who want to get ahead can do so by putting out a bit more effort than the normal person on the street. America is the home of Millionaires and Billionaires who have received an education and then worked hard to work themselves up the ladder to more and more success. Generally speaking when they are successful their business allows them to hire others some of who likewise will work hard themselves and then build their own businesses. But your system allows and even puts a stop to the idea of working hard to get farther ahead than your neighbor. People get stagnant and stay right where they were because they expect others to GIVE them something rather than having to work for it.

I meant the very top but of course in America under Capitalism anyone can reach those heights if they do their part. But take a good look at teachers with the in my opinion, lying corrupt teachers union(s) these days. Teachers make a lot of money while their students for the past 10 years or so have become dumb as rocks. Please do not tell me/us you have not heard of entire schools, classes where not one kid passed a math class or an English class. Surely you have. What do you attribute those dismal performances to, piss poor teachers or stupid students? My number one pick is piss poor teachers who are more into the political side of teaching to continue getting higher paychecks while contributing more and more money to Democratic owned union bosses to continue the cycle.
