If earning money was based on your value, it would mean your value to society or the net good you produce, for others. The more good, you produce for others, the more value you provide, which in turn should mean, you get more money.
At least, in a perfect meritocracy...and of course, nothing is perfect or precise, so the guy who produces a little more good to society may not necessarily get paid a little more money, OR he may even get paid less, then comparatively to a guy who consistently produces less good for others, but when you realize how much bezos makes, compared to even a high skilled/highstakes/life saving doctor, then you'll see how absurd it is to explain the wealth gap as in any context of meritocracy, imperfections or otherwise.
Repubs will literally say "it is not a perfect system, but it is the best we got" but the system they go on to describe as imperfect is always merit-based in some form. Since the outcomes (wildly disproportionate wealth gaps) disprove our system, of even being the most janky held together merit-based system, the question is what is our system then? What does being a billionaire inherently make them? Does it make them inherently, good people? If it doesnt, it really needs to, else the whole system is a lie propped up by evil.
