In college I believed that socialism and even total communism could work in the right circumstances. Now I'm eight months into my job and something has dawned on me. The harsh reality is that everyone has role to play in this world. I do not agree with companies hoarding away money and handing out bonuses to execs while the bottom tier of employees struggle to make a living. But look at things this way, if everyone was paid equally, no matter what their job duties are, how would the world work? I think it'd be like a world full of dogs. All the dogs get the same amount of treats, good dogs and bad dogs. Would the bad dogs strive to improve themselves when they know that no matter what they do they'll still get as many treats as the good dog. Being at the bottom gives you something to strive for, to work your way up to improve your life.
Without anything to work towards, what is the point of giving a hundred percent. Being at the bottom sucks, but remember there's something better to work for.
