"Does communism work after all?"

[Onkel Neal]

It was a simple joke, as Sky said, on the relationship of apples and opinions. I cannot take Communism seriously, it's a dunderhead theory only supported by those with an appallingly loose grasp of reality and human nature.

If you stand at the assembly production line, and your boss sits in the office - could his work be so much more worth that it is justified that you are paid let's say 2000 dollars per month, while he maybe gets 2 million?

Yes.

The assembly line guy chose his job, he made the choices in education and his character and level of ambition determined where he is. That boss makes decisions that affect the whole company, decisions that could make or lose millions. If it's so easy, go ahead, start your own company, and feel free to pay the line workers $100,000 a year. No one is stopping you, but you.

Maybe instead of one captain running a ship, all the crew should make the decisions.

Next time you need eye surgery, or someone to negotiate a large business deal, get the guy who installs your carpet do do it. And makes sure you pay him the same as you would a surgeon or attorney.
