I'll repeat here my main point throughout this thread:

"All I've maintained throughout this topic is that all labor is not equal. Higher skills/education/ability should be compensated at a higher rate, with some adjustment for market demand. Otherwise, we erect disincentives to higher learnings and skills - not the best way to compete in a global job market."
ET hasn't made a cogent argument against this - he's just made the usual oblique drive-by insinuations and insults. If you're OK with that, then continue the cheerleading.
