[quote=briansd1][quote=SD Realtor]Penalizing someone for busting ass and working hard makes no sense to me.[/quote]
Hard work is very relative.
Does a coal miner work harder or does a Realtor? How about an executive who works hard in the boardroom, on the golf course, at dinner parties and on the private jet, etc..?
Our society doesn’t compensate hard work per se, but compensation is based on supply and demand, connections and being at the right place at the right time.
If one make more money because society makes it possible for one to earn that money, then one should pay more because one benefits more.[/quote]
Why are you only comparing people in different industry? What if you’re an hourly wage worker who works twice as many hours as your coworker? Nothing is stopping your coworker to do the same except him/herself.
