this?

No. I think teachers are grossly underpaid. In my ideal world, lawyers and
teachers would switch salaries.


And how would you measure "productivity" so taht unproductive parasites could
be punished via the tax system? And how would you get lawyers and teachers to
"switch salaries" - remember salaries are just a measure of how much society
values the contribution of the wage earners. As a society we are willing to
pay more for a lawyer than for a teacher.
