Only if wealth will be evenly distributed, otherwise you're just enriching someone else.

Would you accept "fairly" distributed instead of "evenly"?

I think it's fair to say that some jobs do actually deserve to be compensated more highly? Jobs that require special skills and training, or require taking on more responsibility?

I don't think the problem is that some work earns different amounts of money. To me it seems that the problem is how much wealth is concentrating in such few hands, because the people doing the work are not being compensated fairly

"fair" involves a value judgement and requires a moral system. "even" is pure mathematics.

> I think it's fair to say that some jobs do actually deserve to be compensated more highly?

Agreeing with that is easy. Agreeing with which jobs should be compensated more highly is hard. Because everyone has different morality systems.

I know people who strongly believe Bezos and other billionaires are being <fairly> compensated for the value they've brought to their customers via their businesses.

		Fairness can also be mathematical. Fair chances. No special treatment.

I would prefer "evenly" but "fairly" would be better than what we have now. If AI and robots are going to make infinite progress and replace all labor, then I definitely would want "evenly".
