But maybe if we paid them more they'd care more. Who knows.
Whether it is teachers, doctors etc who are doing a lousy job that we should pay them more and maybe they will do a better job. The only arguement for better pay is to FIRE the lousy workers and replace them with better workers.

That arguement is really just saying give a raise to lousy workers. I say make them earn it then pay them more.
