That is a flawed system. They should not be on the same level. Although being a farmer is an important job, it doesn't take a very large skill set to do it. Therefore, most people can easily learn to do it.
The programming job is a lot more mentally challenging. Not everyone can do it regardless of how hard they try.
Equal in social status they should be the same, Farming can be hard as well in this day and age. With the partnership of the farmer and the programmer they can do great things together without one trying to screw over the other. Prime example, the origins of T.V Filo had the talent and got screwed out everything cause of what factor? Give up yet? The answer is money! RCA ruined him till they could get a working model. Now, back to the farmer and programmer. If the programmer helps the farmer with better equipment making the farmer's life easier they deserve equal shares of the profit. It does not happen like that, the programmer uses his abilities to take more then is owed to him from the profits of the farm. The farmer does a majority of the work on the farm and takes less profit. How is that fair? The programmer built the software to allow the farmers machines to function better, do you see the programmer helping on the farm other then that? No, you see the farmer. The people benefit from faster and greater quality and quantity of goods, that's what matters. They have both done something good and has improved society. Who is better?
