not to bitchslap the next person I hear whine about “Income inequality” At the lowest levels, work pays what the market can bear, and no government interference will change that. If someone needs an employee to do a job, and they can afford to pay $9 an hour, no law is going to make them able to pay $15 an hour.

At higher levels, work pays what you can negotiate. And if you negotiate a high salary for yourself, you’d better be able to produce results commensurate with your compensation, or else you’ll be on your ear in short order.

Income inequality is an artificial construct- it’s like saying there’s depth inequality in the ocean. Morons.
