Being a Progressive Thinker

I have some information from a progressive thinker's blog about Rampant Capitalism and how it has affected education in the US (the author's screen name: Fractalman93). He has been talking about how the average wages of a teacher is equal to that of a garbage collector despite the fact that education is the single most important investment we can make in our own future. People who contribute to children and the future are paid very low wages and yet basketball players are being payed millions of dollars for playing in a basketball match. The payment they receive is from friendly competition and not in any way from a certain contribution to the community and the future of people. People would give an arm and a leg to shake the hand of a basketball player yet would not give more than a few seconds of their time to school teachers. Teachers work around 40 hours a week within school then adding 3 hours out of school (per day) for grading assignments, preparing the lesson and organizing their work. That would be a total of around 55 hours work a week with no payment for the usual 3 hours overtime. Even the money provided but most schools for yearly supplies would be around 100-200$ which would apparently not even be sufficient to buy the simple requirements a teacher needs to run his class. Most teachers would spend 4 to 5 times that amount out of their own pockets for printer paper, printer ink, boards and borders. The average teacher salary should go up at least to a point where they can manage all these expenses and still live a very comfortable life. The main solution to this would be having CEOs (earning billions of dollars a year) reinvest most of their money (above 60%) back to the community for education. One could lead an extremely comfortable life earning around 500 million dollars a year after investing most their income.
