Looking back, I should have said "talented and motivated.". I don't think that either is adequately rewarded under the current system, but I also think that eliminating all traces of a free market including money is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
I assure you that I am as disgusted by the lassiez-faire condonement of robber barons, exploitation, and bootstraps as those arguing for the end of capitalism, but I find the solution in a balance. There should be a minimum standard below which we do not let our fellow men fall, but it need not be paired with restrictions beyond those necessary to prevent abuse.
