When someones lively hood is on the line you can just charge huge amounts of money and it doesn't matter. Doctors and lawyers exploit people. I don't think the honest hard workers ever become rich. I bet if we looked at millionares (who didn't win their money or inherit it) have made their money by taking advantage of people.

rekna, if i'm the only computer tech in my podunk little home town and people need me, then my time and services are a valuable commodity. whatever i charge is irrelevant, if people pay me what i charge, then they obviously feel that i'm worth it. if the did not, then they would choose to learn themselves or pack it up and drive down the road to the next town for a computer guy.
the same with lawyers and doctors, provided health insurance companies didn't have their say in it, would charge what they thought their time and services would be worth. If a patient thinks it is too much, they are free to find another doctor or lawyer.
