They're not really blaming capitalism for anything though? They're just explaining how it works, and they're right. In a market driven economy, you are paid for having a skill or some knowledge based on the demand of that skill or knowledge and nothing else. In the same way as the quality of your house has little bearing on it's value when compared to it's location. Not a criticism of capitalism.
SIGH. Capitalism is a fringe conspiracy theory. Next you'll be claiming that billionaires earn their money through "capital gains" instead of salary, or that every corporation answers to a shadowy cabal of "shareholders" who only care about profit.
Well you won't fool me. Unlike you, I have educated myself by reading newspapers.
