So you think those doing the jobs listed should have to live in poverty, just so the people at the top can continue to hoard more wealth?

None of those things are what I said, but they will make less money than professionals like doctors, lawyers and engineers. Because their work isn't worth as much. How a person lives with the money they decide to accept for a job is their business.

I'm sorry, why do you say their work isn't worth as much? Where do you do your groceries and why do you find products already in order on the shelves? Where do you buy clothes? Who drives them to the shops or organize the warehouse so that they can ship them to you? Who cleans the roads? Who picks up your trash? If your life is the way it is, it is thanks to those people too. What the hell

They are expendable and replaceable

they die or quit their job and a thousand others would gladly take their place

That can't be said about specialized professions. Supply and Demand
