  2. It's because the system is gamed for the top 1-5%. If we had wealth limits and income maximums and high minimum wages and market controls and all kinds of Labor protections, everyone would make a quality income even if certain professions or positions paid more than others and the corporate executive class wouldn't be able to basically plunder everything from their own company. Right now the criminals are running the show- that would mean Congress and our respective State houses. And lest anyone pipe up, this is an equally bipartisan issue. It's ONE united party behind scenes. They're on the take it's that simple. The on the take from Big Business corporate lobbyists in every sector of industry. They work for them- not us They want those bribes, campaign money, promises, favors, and insider stock tips more than the air that they breathe. They'd trade their kids for them if they could. So when it's time for them to pass their bogus bills you best believe it's just going to be a sign off on whatever corporate lobbyist du jour has provided them. Y'all do know most bills are not actually written by our politicians right? They just sign them to give them a facade of legitimacy. In most cases lobbyists dictate the bills they want and the actual bullshit political officeholder just signs off on them. They happily give everything to the top 2% (all while telling us it's good for us, like the abuser in any good abusive relationship- gaslighting millions into thinking that poverty is some kind of mark of character or irrefutable fact of nature) leaving relative crumbs for the rest of us to fight over. Until this fundamental dynamic is changed, then yes, these baked-in inequalities and irregularities won't change. The latter follows directly from the former. Obviously some positions and occupations will always pay more than others but what we have now is a really skewed compensation system that serves the top 10% in every field extremely well and the rest not so much or not at all. None of this got here by accident.
