I'm not saying that it is inherently wrong for our class structure to be set up as a pyramid. That is what drives people to be better. I'm also not saying we need to pay people unreasonable salaries for jobs that a trained monkey could do.
What I think is we need to make sure that basic needs are met as long as a someone is making an honest effort. To me, these needs are food, shelter, education, utilities and health care for them and their family. They also have to be able to get to and from their jobs.
When people can't do that, they turn to crime to make those ends meet. Then they become even more of a burden on society.
