How far out of balance are we in what and who we
as a society value, what we emphasize, what we reward, what we give our time,
talent, and treasure to? Take a look at today’s
Parade Magazine sampling of “What People Earn.”
Who are rewarded? Largely, 1) entertainers, 2) those who manipulate
money, and 3) those who serve the interests and desires of the wealthy. Those who do (often to the point of
near-exhaustion) the important work, the foundational work, the integrative
work to make a functioning economy possible, are frequently under-rewarded or
even only able to obtain poverty or below poverty level compensation for their
work.
