So everyone should earn the same money? Should they also pay the same tax? I guess it depends on what industry you've chosen to be in. I have kids straight out of arts college asking me for $80-90k when I interview them for work, and some even get it in the larger firms. They're 20-25. A few of them even have talent. In my sector, pay isn't determined on what level you've reached, whether you're worth 10 bucks an hour more than the next guy or how long you've worked for the company - it's paid for skill and your ability to earn the company revenue. Simple. As far as the big cats go, i.e. those on multi-million dollar payouts - I think it's frankly insane, and the Pacific Brands incident of late showcases this abuse. $100K? It's not a ridiculous sum - when you work 18 hour days and are on 24-hour call it's just average money. People've worked damn hard, damn long and very smartly to earn that pay - and I'm not sure that anyone can rightfully begrudge them - or even think that it's all a bit unfair...
