Teachers manufacture our most valuable product.
They SHOULD be compensated much MORE for the valuable service they provide.
Why don't you show us how much the For Profit Health Insurance Industry has contributed to the WEALTH of our nation?
The Health Insurance Industry:
*manufactures NOTHING
*Produces NO Value Added Wealth
*Keeps NO Inventory
*Provides NO useful service
What has this soon to be heavily subsidized from the public treasury
Industry contributed to the WEALTH of our nation?
This parasitic industry and their incestuousness 1st Cousin on Wall Street HAS produced many very RICH owners and managers, but they haven't created any wealth.
In fact, they have parasitically sucked wealth OUT of our nation.
Investment Banks CAN assist the Wealth Creators,
and are valuable in THAT service, but they don't directly create WEALTH.
The people who created the WEALTH of this country had dirt under their fingernails,
from the slaves of the 17th century to the sweat drenched mechanic in the garage that repairs your auto.
THEY are our most valuable resource, and deserve protection and compensation,
not the elite parasites of the 1%.
Money =/= Wealth
