Number one.

Editor,

In a properly educated workforce there is no reason for a manager to be paid more money than a bottom-rung line worker. The precious moments of everybody's life are equally valuable and therefore should be compensated equally.

The reward for spending one's working hours doing more challenging or more interesting work than one's peers is doing more challenging or interesting work.

If every person were paid an equivalent, adequate wage, individuals would differentiate the material possessions they own from their peers' on the basis of how each spends their pay.

Money is the worst reason ever invented for doing anything.

Precisely enough money to live should be a given in the econosphere as precisely enough air or water are in the biosphere.

Human beings need to figure out what to do with their time.

Enslaving and otherwise abusing others should not be an option, and of course our problem is that precisely these are option number one.
