Barrack Obama should determine how valuable a job is and therefore determine what the pay scale should be.
I think that's pretty much what the dems want to do under the 'equal pay' legislation they have lined up if he gets elected. Determine the 'absolute value' of each and every job and legislate wages, using equal protection and Title 19 precedent. (So that a teacher, social worker, for example, will be paid more than a truck driver or construction worker, based on 'objective criteria' such as training and education required involved, etc.).
This sounds suspiciously like socialism....
