    “I as a CEO provide job opportunities and “hours” to spend for TEN THOUSAND people. Obviously my time should be considered worth more than a doctor who does only one person’s hours”

    There’s many reasons why one would claim that their job is more important, but essentially there’s 2 kinds of jobs: those that are valuable to the society, and those that are not. Plumber’s job is just as important as doctor’s

      Ok I accept they’re equally important. We don’t want either to be in short supply. But if your plumber or doctor dies, isn’t it harder to get another member of society motivated and trained to become a doctor?
