Capitalism has ALWAYS BEEN broken. And it cannot BE fixed, it is INHERENTLY unfair and will be done away with as people become more aware of what it does. When a system allows one man to earn more for his hour of work, or even NO work at ALL, than another man who works hard, then violence is the inevitable result, or revolution and public massacres of the advantaged. If a man is more talented, capable, educated, or simply more able than another, that is NOT a reason to pay him more, and another less able worker be paid less!!! Pay is NOT inherently some reward for being "better", and "better" is not something due to "merit", because the circumstances of life are determined by factors beyond our control. PAY is intended properly as a means of providing people what their family needs JUST TO LIVE!! It is distribution of goods, food, shelter, clothing and such. If someone is not as well educated this does NOT come from his refusal to do better, but from circumstances beyond his control which is his inherent inability, justifying NOT that he deserves to be DEPRIVED, but that he ACTUALLY DESERVES MORE HELP, and NOT less! He needs MORE and BETTER education to bring him up to higher performance levels, whereas someone with an inherent ability in a field may need LESS intensive education to do well!! Paying ANYONE more than anyone else is nothing but EVIL and CRIMINAL ABUSE!! It is a class system of progressive high-handed deprivation of a class so that they can be looked down upon in order to sociopathically aggrandize one class over another merely for venal neurotic motives. Some will argue that we NEED to pay specialist geniuses more so that we have them. Scientists are geeks who will pursue Science anyway, regardless of what they are paid if they have the equipment and opportunity!! Science professors in universities work for a pittance compared to what they could make out in industry, which gives the lie to that assertion!! Scientists are a kind of person who inherently have those interests and they cannot even help themselves. They don't struggle through the coursework that nightmarishly terrifies most college students just for higher pay, they could major in business and do that, and that stuff is easy! BORING even! Leaves time for lots of drunken parties, whereas physics does NOT!! And yet, scientists are paid LESS! Capitalism is holding society BACK, we could be doing SO MUCH better without it.
