    Because there are people who are very ambitious who have met their goals in life who do not have millions, or even hundreds of thousands.
    It is very common in our country for people to see capitalism not as just an economic system but also as a moral one where making more money literally means you are a better person. Vteck makes such an implication with his statement "pay=level of talent". It makes me wonder if he's never had an idiot boss who makes more than him.

    of course. Im usually much smarter than most of the people I work for. I work for asshole bosses all the time. I didnt say there were no exceptions to the rule. But, in general, if you are better, you either
    A) make it show so you get that better job
    B) leave and go somewhere that appreciates you.

    In general speaking terms, the better you are in your job the more you get paid.

    Thats why a Harvard degree is worth its weight in gold, or MIT, or GT, or Yale, etc.
