So for me it's obvious that society should not bind the respect for hard work to money as much as America does and this also goes for the leftist crowd, thinking that if person X gets more money from person Y, we wouldn't have problem Z.

Leftists believe that income inequality itself is a feedback into the system that ties income and employment circumstance to self worth. Do you believe that income inequality has no causative association with sociological outcomes?

I think the question is whether, in aggregate, people will engage in the activities society needs them to and in the right quantity. If they don't then no matter how personally fulfilling and productive their pursuits are modern society falls apart. Unless robots are doing everything that matters, and then it doesn't really matter what people do until the robots figure that out and liberate themselves.

Which is why certain measures would have to be taken until we reach true post scarcity society. We get it.
