I dont care where that money comes from in the long run, its just not being put to a good use (in my opinion).
And here we see the problem: because of capitalism, the people who make the most money are those who find the best way to make money, not necessarily the people who deserve it. However, putting people in charge of determining salaries would be much worse, because then the people who get rich would be those that are best at sucking up to the salary-setters (not to mention the salary-setters themselves).
Its a catch 22 really, because of human nature.
