We would in a heartbeat spend $42K on a car. Isn't our children's education worth that if not more?

Sure, my son's teacher is great! Maybe she deserves $50k....60k? How much more are we talking about? Should she get $5M a year like a pro athlete? No way!

It's false logic. My son's education is worth infinity, that doesn't mean someone deserves that to do the job.

We live in a free market and salaries are based on supply and demand. Is it unfair that Bambi (for example, no one I actually know) the stripper makes more money than my son's teacher? Yeah of course -- what are we going to do? Throw morality and values into a system driven by supply and demand? Lets just let the communists take over and tell everyone their salary and what they can earn.

Or lets make it a new 3 dimensional supply/demand/value curve and rewrite economics.
