I think ideally in a capitalist society we'd want that to be true. However, cops are paid more than teachers, administrators are paid more than nurses. There's a lot of what you can get away with as well. I genuinely don't think we live in a meritocracy. We also have cronyism and nepotism and corruption. If what you were saying were perfectly true, we would be be having all these union battles would we?
