> I mean if someone is doing more backbreaking work that's physically demanding wouldn't it make sense to pay these people more? There's more, if we were to build and live in a rational/logic/just system: Anybody who produces something that somebody is willing to buy on the market should get the same salary per hour worked, since every life has the same value (and therefor every hour of a life, too), where everybody would have the right to the same amount of education, "for free"/paid-for by taxes. Now you might say "but, shouldn't the stronger/more intelligent/however better guy be paid more?". No, because, it's not his merit/fault that he is the way he is: Everything in our lives is a function of 2 variables: a) Our inherited/given genetics that were b) planted in a given environment, to logically lead to the result that is "us", today. But we don't live in a just system. We're still stuck in the "money equals power" state of evolution, like some kind of a Middle Age of rational thought.
