Troll_Police_ posted... and no wonder you think others must be the same. They are. That's simple economics. No matter what you do in the world, your wages are controlled. They are controlled by what the market thinks they are worth, and that is true of government positions as well, which is why your position is so laughable. Yes, the government could step in and say "Doctors now only make $25,000 a year", and they would very quickly have no more doctors and be forced to increase wages to a more reasonable level. Doctors command the wages they do because their skillset is difficult to attain and highly in demand - that will remain true whether they charge patients directly or bill the government for their services. Having universal healthcare is completely unrelated to what sort of money doctors make. Troll_Police_ posted... do you have no backbone? no ambition? Because the only measures of those things are my paycheque? Troll_Police_ posted... you cant go into an interview and tell them the paygrade you think you deserve? Who says I haven't done that? I make six figures a year. I don't care to get more specific than that, but it's more than enough to finance the sort of lifestyle I want for myself. I am content with what I earn and I earn fair wages for what I do. Troll_Police_ posted... if you legit think the work you do is worth 10 million a year then you are doing yourself a disservice by not going for it, which by the way you are free to do. If anyone legit thinks the work they do is worth 10 million a year, they are completely delusional with a wildly overblown sense of their own importance. Now, some people can make that kind of money, through celebrity, ingenuity, taking advantage of markets, or simple good fortune, and I don't begrudge them for doing it (I certainly would, if given the opportunity), but that's far from saying that their work is "worth" that kind of money. And of course I'm free to walk into my boss's office and demand he pay me $10 million dollars a year; I'm also sane enough to note that there is not a person in the world who would pay those sorts of wages for the type of work I do. Troll_Police_ posted... thats how capitalism fucking works member? That is not even close to how capitalism works. Capitalism is about the market dictating your price, not you dictating your price. If you charge more than what the market can or will support, you will very quickly find yourself unemployed. Troll_Police_ posted... and its funny to me that all you can say for an argument is how "its funny to me". its almost as though you cant actually argue, so you just try to devolve into half insults serving no purpose. It's funny to me that you think this. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
