this is niave, people dont allways have the option to work harder or longer or to learn a new skill.
Bullshit. People just don't want to expend the energy to do it. (why the people who do get paid more).
again, its not that simple, a CEO may work more hours than say a nurse, but surely the nurses job is more important, under a soley capitalist system, the quality of life for the working classes (who are essential to the economy) is poor, how do you justify that?
The CEO gets paid more, because there are far less people who can do his/her job as well.
A nurse saves lives, and because it's a very rewarding job, lots of people want to do it. If you lose a nurse, you have another one right there to take her place. You lose a good CEO, it might take a year or two to replace them.
Again its not that simple, working longer hours dosent neccesarily mean you have done more actual work
That's for the person paying you to decide. If you used to work 6 hours digging a ditch, and now you work 8 and dig the same amount of ditch, sooner or later, your going to get paid for 8 hours what you used to get paid for 6.
So, what is money to you then? Just something lucky people have more of?
