I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't think this is actually the case. How many major party candidates have "fundamentally change our constitution" as part of their platforms?

Okay, I wasn't sure if I could jump in here before but knowing your profession now, I think I can speak to it from a client's perspective. My family of 4 disabled people works with several therapists of different sorts (psycho, occupational, etc). Our annual income is greater than the national average and we have a fair amount of financial stability, food safety, etc.
You should charge people like me more than you charge the people who are having a rougher time. I am grateful that most of our therapists have sliding scales and I'm grateful that I'm able to contribute on the higher side of that scale. Every single one of our therapists raises their fees every year and it's by a reasonable amount. Some of our therapists set higher fees for new clients but keep existing clients at the same tier and then do a percentage increase for everyone every year, and I'm grateful for that compromise as well.
I want my therapists to have lives as comfortable as mine, the value I get from them is extremely high and it is worth the price. I don't want my therapists to be food insecure, I want them to be able to take vacations (your job is fucking hard!), I want them to live in clean, comfortable homes.
