Totally Unnecessary

"Professions that don’t involve caring, like plumbing or engineering, are uniformly higher paid in the market than professions that do involve caring, like child care or elementary school teaching — both highly skilled, highly important professions. We have this bizarre situation where people pay $50 to $90 to the plumber, to whom we entrust our pipes. But according to the U.S. Department of Labor, the child care worker, to whom we entrust our children, averages $10 an hour, no benefits. And, of course, we insist the plumber be trained. How could we entrust our pipes to somebody who isn’t? But we don’t insist all child care workers be trained. This is not logical, it’s pathological. And we have to look at why we have such a distorted system of values driving our economic system?"

I’ll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you And the strength that will help you grow. I’ll give you truth and a future that’s twenty times better Than any Hollywood plot.

I’ll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you
And the strength that will help you grow.
I’ll give you truth and a future that’s twenty times better
Than any Hollywood plot.
