I'm a proud independent for the reason that both parties aggravate me. Most conservatives I see on TV or in the paper are just down right dumb and most liberals that I see the same way are paranoid. Now, I tend to lean to the left because in order to progress and get better, change is a necessary thing. Would I vote a republican this election? Only if it was Chris Christie. He said in an interview on the Daily Show, "Republicans and Democrats have to work together. Of course we will disagree, but we have to work together to do what's best for the American People." FINALLY. Someone gets it. On the democratic side, I'm with Bernie Sanders all the way. Yeah, free healthcare would raise taxes to the extreme, but sacrifices have to be made to progress. Besides, no one should go into surgery (or anything else of the sort) and have to come out worrying about a $50,000 bill. No one should make money on someone else's suffering.
So, with all that said, I guess the short answer is yes, but only if they have some common sense.
does it make sense that a doctor, who goes to school for exactly the same number of hours as 100 other students, studies just as hard, can charge you 100 times as much per hour? Then again, our society is too tangled to ********. It's just a mess. Like that day I heard a guy talking about his job. Getting paid a bloody fortune to pull a lever. Every time he pulled the lever, he got a couple hours wage. He had a big box of these things he stuck in the machine for aerospace. He pulled the lever. Took him seconds to switch from one component to the next. Cha-ching. Cha-ching. Over and over. I'm guessing someone figured out they could spend 200 grand on a robot to replace his a** and still come out ahead.
When you move up the economic food chain in today's society, you always find these gaping holes that basically imply someone is getting unfairly rich and someone else down the line is suffering disproportionately. Not to mention most of the jobs today are fake. They don't produce anything. They just manage people who analyze other people's numbers which are analysis of other people's products. It's basically feng shui people skills with manhattan distance. Certainly there's a gallon of BS to swallow to qualify, and plenty of dicks to suck to get hired, but for example, the data chics at the nearest medical clinic just sit there and chat about gossip on the phone and play video games. That's what they do. That's what most people do.
There are billions of people on earth who's whole jobs are basically a scam.
Doctor's don't go to school for the exact same amount of time as 100 other students, and a LOT of the answer comes down to what are their degrees in?
A doctor will do twelve years of high school, four years of college, THEN four years of medical school, then will be an intern/residency, which can last from one to four more years to complete.
Then they get the wonderful advantage of having to carry malpractice insurance, which is far from cheap.
And lets not forget that they aren't 'pulling a lever', as you so eloquently (and vaguely) described a competing job. They are literally the difference between life and death, and misery and joy.
