We're losing sight of what's important

What is the matter with the world today? We are paying actors millions of dollars for acting. We are paying athletes millions of dollars for throwing a ball or hitting a golf ball. We are paying CEO's millions while they lay off people from their jobs.

No one deserves to make more than what the President of the United States makes. We need to get our priorities back in sync and look at what is truly important. Teachers are getting laid off, schools are cutting back and the kids aren't learning. Some won't be going to college. They can't spell or write a sentence. What is to become of them?
