Something did go terribly wrong with our educational system, and our political system, and our financial system, and every other system: they are victims of the deification of greed.
When the only thing that matters is profits, then naturally, frivolous concerns, such as whether people are earning a wage that they can live on, fall by the wayside.
There used to be more balance between the need for profits and moral obligations. Profits and morality can coexist, and in fact, when they do we have a better society, a far better one than we have today.
What surprises me is that religious people are always harping about moral issues. Where is their moralistic zeal regarding our unfettered, rapacious, greed-centered economy?
