Where did I say that striving to better one self financially by climbing the income ladder would equal one not caring about their role in society? Rich people can and often are philanthropists. Just because they have the lions share of wealth, does not mean they do not care about society.

I'm not convinced that any other point is ludicrous. What I think is ludicrous is that you think skill should not be a factor in ones remuneration. It's... odd.
If we are not rewarded for gaining a skill, why the hell would you bother? How on earth would humans advance as a race with no incentive?
