This is horse feces! A guy who shows up when he has nothing better to do, and pushes a button 8 hours a day isn't worth what a software developer or brain surgeon is. Look at teachers if you want a good example of income equality. A good teacher is hard to come by, and in my opinion, worth six figures. In our current system, they make the same as a more common, useless sorry teacher; the exact same money! Which is more valuable? If you want more income, make yourself more valuable. Don't try to vote yourself more money. I've worked hard for many years to get where I am. I could do different things to make more money. I have that ablilty. I am happy where I am, and value my spare time to spend with my children more than the extra money I could be earning. I do not begrudge people who chose differently. It's easy to blame others for your shortcomings. It's more difficult to overcome them.
