I would hope a surgeon is as licensed and competent as a mechanic. Still, I do not begrudge a surgeon his or her money. I do not expect everyone to make the same money. Some have more opportunity than others for lots of reasons, personal and structural and system. You, it seems to me, are forgetting that each of us is a complex mixture of heredity and environment and personal response. You are also attacking positions I do not hold, altering and adjusting my points to suit your responses.

So you're saying that the surgeon who went to school for years and years, worked hsi butt off, and studied for hours every night. Should pay more of the money he earns to the mechanic because the mechanic didn't do those things. While he may be a good mechanic, in my eyes you should defintely make more money working on people than you do working on cars. Especially since there is very little schooling needed to become a mechanic, as compared to a doctor. If the mechanic is unhappy, he should become a doctor.

There's no excuses for background, or parents, or where you're from. I know fo people who come from less than nothing who became doctors because they sacrificed and worked hard to get where they are.

They shouldn't be paying the way for people who settled for less.
