How Do I Know?

Life is unfair, and this is how I know.  I work hard and earn a good salary, but out there are two people.  One who works more and earns less, and one who works less and earns more.  But let there be no doubt that this system, though imperfect, yields the greatest benefit to all.  One may live in a fair society, but it is one that keeps man from living to his greatest potential.

Should an accountant plow a field?  Should a doctor dig a ditch?  Should a politician clean septic tanks?   The answer to the first two is no.  They can do greater good for all as doctors or accountants.  And they will be compensated handsomely for their scarce knowledge and expertise.
