Hi,

Quote:. . . the best jobs in terms of income are not the ones that benefit the economy and general prosperity the most.
Yeah. So what? Your assumption is flawed. It is basically the assumption that (small 'c') communism is based on and we've all seen how well that works. In a market economy, the value of an item (and a person's time *is* an item) is no more, no less, than what two people (the buyer and the seller) agree to trade for that item. Which is why you can get a meal at McDonald's for about $5 while there are restaurants that will put you back $1000 or more for dinner for two. Is it fair? No, it isn't. But anyone stupid enough to base their world view on 'fair' should test the fairness of gravity from a tall building. On the way down, explain to the ground why it's hardness is unfair.

Quote:. . . Is there any way to stop this, according to me, problem?
Yes, education. As soon as you take a real course in economics, and realize how a market works, and why an outlier rate of one in thirty thousand is acceptable, that soon you will see that there was no problem except in your mind.
