Silly Sue. Your income is obviously what you are worth as an individual. This is why university administrators must earn so much: they are worthy. Faculty are not. If the faculty were more worthy, they would earn more. It is that simple. And of course, in that case there would be no adjuncts, who have even less intrinsic value, because if they had more, they wouldn't be adjuncts earning peanuts. It is simply their fault.

The bankers clearly have high intrinsic value, which is why they get big bonuses. As for bringing down the world economy, that's okay, because the 99.99% of people who suffered didn't earn much anyway, which means that they have less value. So really, when you look at the issue in the right way, the great recession is their fault for destroying innovation, not the bankers.

Do you understand now?
