Paying teaches more (than they are paid now http://www.teachersalaryinfo.com/teacher-salary-data.html) and useless businessmen less (than they are paid now http://current.com/green/89118297_fortune-500-ceos-relative-to-the-average-wage-in-the-united-states.htm) has nothing to do with all people or skill. It has only to do with executives making more and more money without contributing positively to anything outside of their own interests. Not imprisoning people for no reason implies nothing other than it is a terrible idea to allow people to make imprisoning people a for-profit enterprise.
