The hardest working people I know make shitall, and the lazy ones who don't do anything useful make bank. I'd rather pizza place workers make a living wage for the thankless work they do then overpayed middle manager ghouls get to feel like bigshots.

People like you are so obsessed with making sure nobody gets a single penny more than they "deserve" disgust me. If people like you had their way, we'd all still be working 16 hours a day in the mines for subsistence wage, because obviously we don't deserve better.
