I don’t have a problem with income inequality per se. Consider:
It makes perfect sense that I’m paid more as an instructional designer than I was as a banquet waiter. My instructional design services are simply worth more to prospective employers than my waitering ever was (clumsy hands spilling drinks!).

First, this great piece on “Climate-Gate”:
