JJJ, you keep referring to people having 'worked', or even 'worked hard', and therefore being rewarded for such work. Surely how hard you work depends upon your ability. It might be easy for one person to do something, but incredibly hard for another. So therefore people who find a task more challenging get a bigger reward for completing it? In fact you can't really measure how hard something was for someone, you can sometimes measure the actual output, but even that might not be possible when the work which was carried out doesn't result in any physical or clearly quantifiable output.
Think about the amount of money someone is making, and then how that money relates to the actual benefit the persons work is contributing to the general populous. A person with a high salary is not necessarily working hard for it, they are just getting paid much. Similarly just because you are on a low salary doesn't mean you are making less of an effort, in fact the opposite of this is probably true.
Also, there was a point made earlier, I’m not sure by who, that when you earn more you get taxed more. Within scaled taxation, you get taxed the same amount on income to a certain level, and then get taxed the higher rate only on any moneys which exceed the limit at which the higher rate kicks in. Of course you are paying more tax, but again ask the question, ‘is what I’m getting paid for in accordance with what it is contributing to society?’
