    Why not?

    There isn't any work where earning an average of 500k per year is deserved, especially as doctors, top intellectuals and other crucial or specialist work only hits around the 150k mark. 250k tops.

    The people with over 500k are simply exploiting others for the money, since that money could easily be used to hire many more workers, fund research, apprenticeships, pay others a higher salary, and list of many other things.

    What does, lets say, the Director of the BBC do, which earns over 800k, while the Prime Minister, Specialist Doctors, Head of the Ministry of Defense, Police Chiefs (many others) earn between 150-200k ? It is simple exploitation.

    What could he do for 800k, which 40 people earning 20k couldn't do?

    No one deserves that sort of wage for their work, year in, year out.

    Why does anyone deserve any amount of money?

    Beskar it sounds to me like your are just saying we shouldn't have homeless people. But that isn't an argument that no one deserves 500,000 a year.

    Money is the medium of the era which gives us the necessaries needed for life. If it was a moneyless era where everything is plenty, then obviously, we wouldn't need any money.

    Unless we'd reinvent it. Money was originally invented to show off wealth, something that's kind of human.

    Really? I always thought it was invented to make trade easier, wealth could be shown of with gold as well.
