A great honor to labor would be to address inequity in our tax code. It is crazy that investors who earn a "carried interest" are entitled to a lower tax rate on those earnings than a truck driver is on his/hers earnings. It's crazy that a capital gains tax would be lower than an an ordinary income tax. To those who say that that would be a disincentive to invest, I call BS. If what you do for a living is invest, and what someone else does is dig ditches, why is one more noble than the other? And as a side-note, over-write Citizens United to bring daylight to dark money in campaigns.

Work is honorable and worthy of our best efforts regardless of the job, the place, the people the purpose and the challenges. Let's take a moment and thank those whose work makes our lives easier, better and safer. There is nothing more noble than serving others in every station of life.
