We do indeed live in a world in which money is a taboo subject in the same way as “religion” is and as sex used to be.

A good start would be for “full disclosure” of our personal income/benefits to each other.

For over thirty years I was a teacher in a Christian school and my salary and benefits were public knowledge as was the minister’s salary/benefits.
