Who feels they are paid far less than they are worth?

The way companies make money(profit), is by sqeezing costs and increasing productivity.
That means that you make less, and work harder.
It sucks, because only a handful of people
reap the rewards(high pay), at any given place. The others do all the work and give up their pay, almost as a sacrifice so the money makers can rake in the bucks.
If it was spread evenly and proportionally, you would have a lot more happier rank-and-file workers, but no handful of rich at the top.
Maybe Karl Marx was right after all....not really kidding here.....

John A, they should let priests get married,
so they can increase their stipend, and get them away from the altar boys.

I suspect a majority would answer affirmitively.
As someone who has, on a small scale, employed others to complete a task I knew would make my life easier, I pay fairly. The issue is far more complex than just individuals considering their own worth however.
If we had no "standards" chaos would be the situation, and businesses, especially small ones, would likely not stay viable resources for many consumers.
Having said that I offer the thought that if ANYONE here wishes to see conditions that might depress even the most hard working, check out anything you can regarding Walmart!!!
One Mr. Walton in particular has a net worth of approximately $56 Billion, far more than the guy who is involved in sooooo many appliances we are currently online with.
His net worth and his station in life is likely at the opposite end of the spectrum of most of the planet. He AINT NO MOTHER THERESA!
What choices do we have? Suck it up, accept, resign to our lot, constantly seek another dime per hour, become Gypsies, win a lottery, OR find levels of living that allow us contentment no matter what our income is? Downsizing life doesn't mean we also have to dismiss "Dreams" "Goals" "Hope"
As long as our species exists, so too will "Greed"
