oh wait, I got it.
In my world, I believe that you should get paid what you are worth. The thing that irks most socialists is that capitalism goes to the extreme and begins to exploit the workers for the sake of profit. Hence we see sweatshops and the like; they pay someone 10 cents a day to sew some pants, then they make something like 10000% profit when they sell those same pants for 100 dollars at Macy's or whatever.
Now if those sweatshop workers had better working conditions and were getting paid what they were worth (now when I mean that, i don't insist that they make 10 dollars an hour or whatever; but simply enough in their currency to that they can provide for their basic needs; even if its just 10 dollars a day.) then I don't think anyone, even socialists, would have a problem.
On the other end, we can see instances where it swings the other way and the workers pretty much cripple the economic system. GM and Ford are prime examples of this. I wholeheartedly believe that the contracts the Unions forced on the Automakers crippled GM and Ford to the point where both are hanging by a thread. Because of the contracts, both companies are forced to pay ridiculously high wages and pensions to workers who have been there a long time.
