All of this brings up many good points. In one sense, if everybody works just as hard, then why shouldn't everyone earn more or less the same. Of course, that brings up issues like "then why go to school to study a harder degree?" In turn, that may force people to study what they like instead of what makes them the most money.

Interesting. Don't see a downside.
Reminds me of a quote from Office Space:

office space wrote: "there would be no janitors, because no one would clean s... up if they had a million dollars.

Yes it would be great if we could all just pursue our own interests with confidence that we would be financially stable, but the potential downsides are not having anyone wanting to do the "dirty work".
