Why does an high-school educated oil rig worker take home >$100 000 a year? Or, who cares? Some jobs, that require the same basic skills, make different amounts of money. This is not noteworthy. Nor is it a problem that needs to be "fixed", unless by raising the wages of those on the wrong end of the pay scale.

Let me lay out the cheapskates' argument more clearly: servers shouldn't make tips, restaurants should charge the same (or less!) for food, and if servers' can't be paid a reasonable wage for their work, well, too bad, *I'm* doing all right.
