“For Ms. Bonilla, the result is an hourly wage of more than $25. Adding the money from a part-time job cooking at a student dorm, most weeks she earns more than $1,500. That exceeds the typical weekly pay of a worker with a master’s degree. Adding in the wage of Mr. Villatoro, also a cook at the business school, the family earns almost $120,000 a year.”

Why are corporate profits at an all time high? Why have wages been stagnant for the past four decades?
Because the number of people in labor unions is at an all time low!
This is why people hate Obamacare. It forces people to buy high cost insurance through private corporations that don’t cover services when you need them. #Medicare4All would cover everyone while keeping costs in check with price caps on medications, services, and procedures.

Most towns fund schools from property tax. If the town is wealthy with high property values, schools are extremely well funded. If the town is poor, with very little wealth in home values, schools are underfunded and failing.
The State of Vermont funds schools by creating a shared fund state wide. Property tax from around the state is deposited into the fund, and then distributed to schools based on pupil count to equalize money spent per student. They also fund schools with an income tax mechanism. This way all students receive a fair education, regardless of which zip code they live in.
