​Nobody gets paid more than public school teachers

If I were to change 1 single thing in the world (or at least America), I would love for there to be some rule that nobody can earn more than the base pay for public school teachers.

Maybe all income beyond that level is taxed at 100%. I dunno. Figuring that part out is someone else’s job.

We would, of course, end up paying teachers very well, in order to raise the cap for all other highly-paid positions. Imagine how many of our best & brightest might dedicate their lives to fostering new generations of imaginative thinkers & creators.
That is the kind of trickle-down I could get behind.
