I agree entirely that somebody working 16 hours should not be paid more than somebody working 60 hours. But that doesn't mean the person on 16 hours is being paid too much, it means the person on 60 hours is being paid too little.
I also do not agree that many people's work ethic has been ruined. It has been suppressed by the system, but it is still there. It just needs nurturing and encouraging with more realistic wage structures (i.e. making work pay)
