A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

Hello Flash,
This sounds like a justification for blaming the poor for their own condition.
If that is the case, then who will perform the less skilled positions?
That is not possible for those at the lower end of the wage spectrum.
A good system allows all the needed jobs in a society to be performed, and all the people in society to have enough income to maintain a minimal comfortable lifestyle.
Any system which allows powerful employers to take advantage of desperate workers by paying them too little to live is destined to produce unrest and misery - not a great country but a suffering one.

Greed has nothing to do with a person being responsible for making himself marketable. I bet that Disney executive got training, an education, worked hard, and earned that position. Mickey Mouse who walks around taking selfies with children and parents has done nothing to earn a high salary.
If you think something has no moral justification you are free not to consume any Disney products. If enough of us do so they no longer have a business and can't pay the executive anything. If you choose to go to Disney movies you are voluntarily supporting them and their practices. American consumers control corporations in spite of those who claim they are all controlling us.
It is not indifference to expect a person to get training, experience, or an education. It is the only responsible thing to do. Otherwise, we could all just drop out of high school and expect someone to pay us a good salary despite not having any skills. Does your business hire people with no skills at a high salary?
Why not start with unions ?

The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.
So negative.
This assessment focuses on the worst of each.
Mistake!
The idea is to try to maximize the best of each system while minimizing the worst. Must be working in the Nordic Model because they are the happiest nations.

Yup, this is PRECISELY my argument... If people want to do this out of self-governance (such as with this example of a company freely choosing to do so), then I am all for it. If people instead want to force this type of act upon other people through compulsion (say, through federal government progressive taxation rates & subsequent "redistribution of wealth"), then I am against it.
