What is so God-awful wrong about decent pay for teachers, nurses, cops, firefighters, bus drivers, trash collectors, water and sewage treatment plant workers? HOW DARE THEY demand a living wage and ask entitled brats like you to ante up a few bucks to pay for it. You may keep every dollar you earn if you promise to do this: NEVER use tap water, NEVER flush a toilet, NEVER get sick and require nursing care, NEVER drive on roads and bridges, NEVER call a cop, NEVER ask a fireman for assistance. NEVER ride a bus or subway, NEVER ride a train, HAUL YOUR OWN TRASH to the dump, and myriad other services public workers provide and infrastructure in place that you don't even think about as you go through your oh so precious life.
I feel sorry for you.
