On the other hand some people make $15 a minute to perform professional services civil servants could do. The problem isn't that we have too many greedy poor people, it's that too much wealth is in the hands of far too few.
I agree wholeheartedly. I make $40/hour. Have an advanced degree that I got 10 years post undergrad, had to relocate twice, but $40 as a 39 yr old. My wife can stay home with our two boys and homeschool. I also agree with the other pede about everyone should have to work in public service (retail, food - anything where you're always dealing with people) and you'll learn a lot, not to mention how not to treat others.
And if we are going to replace manual laborers with robots, why not use Artificial Intelligence to do away with lawyers and judges? Surely I could speak my intentions to a computer that could draw up a legal will without my having to pay any human being to do so.
One could get a divorce or go through bankruptcy or any number of other legal services with no need for flesh and blood attorneys with palms to grease. Think how much more evenly justice will be applied when the laws are upheld by Artificial Intelligence in the court rather than corrupt judges and lawyers with political axes to grind.

I can't tell if your being sarcastic, but one day this actually might happen.
Japan has robot doctors and the white collar folks will be replaced long before me
