If the money system is supposed to represent an I-owe-you for work actually done, then it is severely flawed when high up CEO can make in one hour the same amount their slaving hourly workers make in a year, when the "owner" of some "intellectual property" can profit indefinitely of a work performed once, and so on. I don't say that we need to do away with the money system, but that the distribution of wealth based on actual work done seems so far out of balance that many people are a form of virtual slave to others who have the financial capability to lobby and ensure that things don't change.
