Overpaid to some is fairly paid to others.

That said, I do agree in general with what you are saying about the sense of entitlement. I am just not so sure it is a misplaced sense of entitlement.

I think it is hard to disagree that if *all* workers were paid a better wage the world would be a better place... higher standards of living across the board.
