Funny how if billionaires leave b/c Govt raises billionaire taxes, it’s Govt’s fault—but as teachers leave because Govt won’t raise teacher salaries, it’s the teachers fault.🤔

Protecting billionaires & exploiting teachers in poverty is class warfare against working people.

Most professionals do the work they do because they love it and are called to do it. Teachers teach because they cannot *not* teach. Nurses and other service providers have a “caring gene,” if you will, that must be exercised. Because they’re going to do what they do regardless of their works’ modest pay, we in society are happy to take advantage of that motivation and underpay them. Why do we not extend that reasoning to billionaires? But instead of underpaying them, tax them?
