112. Its the same old tired argument
People should only be worthy if they measure up to what an elite believes is worthy.

In other words its their min wage argument. People who work for min wage do not provide a valuable service and should be paid less than someone who feels their job is "skilled"

I went to an unemployment office once, and looked up jobs that are considered unskilled. Fitters, boilermakers carpenters, or anything considered blue collar, thats total bullshit. I would put the skills of a fitter over the skills of a CEO anyday. The fitters job takes years of apprenticeship to even begin attempting. I guaruntee you these fat paid executives couldnt even begin to understand the skill and knowledge some of these "unskilled" professions take . Its the execs who make up these ridiculous claims of self important drivel
