I'm an engineer and I still can't afford a modest house. I'm paid well but I'm far from the biggest beneficiary of capitalism.

Labourers are harder working because they typically have longer hours and work some of the worst jobs.

You, sir, are daft.

And some of the wealthiest people alive are also some of the dumbest losers I've ever heard open their mouths.

Taylor Swift works hard by modern standards but she would sit in the corner and cry after a day doing the work that we make immigrants do

Tailor Swift and the likes are more capitalism than artistry.

Doctors can do well, but I've never heard of a billionaire doctor. Engineers do well, but they're not billionaires. Both doctors and engineers work hard, but not in the same physically demanding, body-harming way that laborers work. Laborers can even be paid deceptively well, with construction labor sometimes paying something like triple the minimum wage. But the cost to the laborer is paid with body breaking down, and you can bet that job-site they're contracted for doesn't provide health insurance. So they accumulate injury, breaking down their body, thus limiting how much of that physically taxing job they can do. So, in effect, they're not being paid nearly enough. Because the pay doesn't compensate their loss of bodily function. Think of it like an NFL defensive lineman. They're paid very well, but their body takes a huge toll. A lot of former NFL players are not doing well, despite their huge initial earnings.

Just to add in, that a CEO definitely doesn't work as hard as their hardest working employee, and the avg. CEO pay is roughly 325 times that of their average worker.

u think contrarians should be paid more?

Can we call them what they are; physicians. Calling them doctors undermines anyone with a Ph.D.
