7. In this country, it's not always about how hard...
...you work.

Look at what we pay teachers. They work hard and often spend their own money, just so they
can have the supplies to do their job. Then, look at what we pay Brad Pitt for staring in a movie.

The teacher's annual salary is about a few hours of work for Brad Pitt.

White-collar types are paid more than blue-collar types. We need mechanics just as much as
we need accountants--so it's interesting that we would pay the accountant more.
