1. How did you feel when you realized there was such an unequal pay amount between workers and bosses?

I will be honest, I never really thought about it. I always thought “Hey I got lucky! I get paid 670 a week!” but I never knew anything about CEO’s getting 360 times more money than the average pay, no sir! I am very happy but my immediate reaction was to bring up donations to people because I now have an insane amount of money and I am a person who is known for doing good deeds, that is my job.

2. Why does unequal pay between workers and bosses happen?

The pay that happens for these two jobs is because bosses need more money to pay more money. As a CEO (In the real world) it means that you are the owner of a humongous company. For me my company is kind of like team trees. it is known around the world for helping the environment. The CEO’s need more money to pay the workers that work underneath that person. The CEO must hire workers to do different smaller jobs and it is their responsibility to pay them. not the bank.

3. What is a realistic solution to prevent such unequal pay from happening in the future?

Maybe we can have the person who gets the most amount of pay must donate to at least half of the class a good amount so that those people can pay the bills easier. We need to take charge of how much money we own and we need to be generous with it and we need to create smaller jobs underneath the CEO.

4. What is one topic that has interested you thus far and why is it interesting to you (ex: evictions, utility meters, unequal pay, taxes, rent).

Taxes have probably been the most interesting thing for me. It is interesting to think that when you buy something you are essentially getting money stolen from you and taken to the government and is then spent on making the country greater and more inhabitable. I think that it was very interesting to learn about these even though most of the lesson was from my parents and my math teacher.

Just as a point of information, CEO’s generally don’t pay workers, it is the company.

Taxes are stealing money. The government needs money to be able to provide services to people (such as police, army, housing). Without taxes, the government would not have the money to do those things. Should we get rid of taxes then?

well yes, but It didn’t really work that way.
