It's not a question of working or not working. It's a question of some jobs being compensated better than others, and the disparity isn't always rational. Everyone can't be a doctor or a lawyer or a hedge fund manager. Society also requires welders and janitors and teachers. Is a mathemetician who works on Wall Street more valuable than a mathemetician who does pure research? Is he smarter? Does he perform a more useful function?
is he smarter than the greeter at walmart? or the guy who salts your fries at Mickey D's? or the guy who cleans the toilets at the mall?
