out of 4 billion workers, there has to be 1000 people who are very equal to bill gates in hardness of work, brains, talent, education, instinct, dedication, skill, etc, etc - who are very unequal in pay
if you set every adult in the world, with equal tools and materials, to make a variety of products, there are a billion people who will produce as much as bill gates per hour
how do people manage to feel happy [or not unhappy, and not cheated] about bill gates being paid 50,000 times average pay?
how do people manage not to reflect that very high pay has to be funded by lower than average pay?
bill gates does an hour's work, and buys US$500,000 [1998 dollars] worth of goods, which have taken others 50,000 hours' work to make - gates contributes an hour of himself to society and society contributes 50,000 hours to bill gates
[world average per hour production US$10 - 1998 dollars - US$15 2006 dollars]
why is everyone giving money [work] to this complete stranger?
