Is there something intrinsic in a job that makes a society value it financially, which has become what defines value in our world-- above other jobs?

Why do school teachers make a barely living wage while financial manipulators make billions?

Why does a family doctor make a comfortable living while an attractive soap opera actor make millions?

And that had a lot to do with the whole Wisconsin Recall failure. Call it the politics of envy. Conservatives have been using it to divide working people for centuries and clobbered us with it this week.

Billionaires like the Koch brothers, specifically the Koch brothers, don't think they should have to pay for the costs to run a civil society. Wealthy conservatives never have.

They can afford their own teachers why should they have to pay for someone else's teachers? They do not see the World the way regular people do. That's why there seems to be an observable tendency for billionaires to turn into sociopaths. The Kochs and their ilk own an awful lot of politicians; Scott Walker and Paul Ryan only being two of the most prominent-- who disagree with most of us..

And now we have Republicans trumpeting that the results in Wisconsin Tuesday are proof that it's safe for Republican state governments to go all in on the ALEC/Koch agenda of dismantling our democracy and eliminating the middle class..
