What makes your values better than mine?
I know a lot of people think that there are "objective" things - like the Bible - that do inform people about why their values are better than others. But I don't think there is any such a thing as objective assessments for validity of anyone's values. So, no I don't think what I value is more important than what you value.
But let's look at your statement, "What makes your values better than mine?" The inverse implication of that is - my (Bernie) values aren't better than yours. Do you think that way about all your values; is there no case where you think, "hey, what you are doing is so wrong that I must speak up about it and call it out for the wrongness that it is"?
