The problem with complaining about people who make a different amount of money than you is that it's completely relative. While the $100/hr designer bitches about $10/hr designer "devaluing the market", the $500/hr may be complaining about the $100/hr designers doing the same thing. Usually, whatever level you happen to be at will seem to you like it's the ideal level. The same concept applies to taxes. The tendency is for people to think that people who make more than they do should be taxed more, while people making less than them should be taxed less.
